Abstract:
This letter highlights the valuable contribution of the review titled 'Quantifying the Carbon Footprint of External Beam Radiation Therapy-A Narrative Review' (https://doi.org/10.1002/jmrs.70009) in understanding how radiation therapy impacts healthcare-related greenhouse gas emissions, particularly through pre-treatment imaging, treatment delivery, and patient travel. Therefore, the letter emphasizes that empowering radiation therapists with green skills is essential to foster a culture of environmental responsibility within radiation therapy departments.
