Abstract

Radiation oncology services in Spain are undergoing a process of technical modernization, but—in a context of increasing demand by an ageing population—it is unclear whether there are enough radiation oncologists to staff the newly equipped units. This study aims to assess the number of specialists working in radiation oncology services in Spain relative to current and future needs.
