The carbon footprint of external beam radiotherapy and its impact in health technology assessment

Background: The major drivers of carbon dioxide (CO2eq) emissions of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) are not well known and limit our ability to initiate mitigation strategies. Material and methods: We describe the carbon footprint of four typical centers. We explore direct EBRT associated fa...
