Abstract:
The fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have resulted in unprecedented delays in cancer care. The Global Coalition for Radiotherapy (GCR) has been working to alleviate this backlog and has been functioning as an emergency task force in Ukraine. Not only have patients been displaced by the war, but trainees and physicians have been greatly impacted as well. Given that radiation is needed to treat over half of all cancer cases, it is imperative to advocate for radiation oncology as a field and collaborate globally, especially as trainees.
