The 'Atoms for Peace' agency is offering online radiotherapy courses in developing countries.
As cancer rates continue to climb in poorer nations a group calling itself the "Atoms for Peace" Agency is offering online radiotherapy courses to boost cancer treatment in developing nations.
United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) works with its member states to 'promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies'.
IAEA says making radiotherapy accessible is a key component in any comprehensive cancer control programme
To bridge the gap in developing countries where there is a shortage of cancer specialists, the Agency has helped spearhead a web-based course on radiation oncology.
The course contains 80 training modules classified into eight different topics, and the materials are expected to complement the training that radiation oncologists receive through their formal education in their respective countries.
