ABSTRACT
Radiation therapy is a critical modality for cancer treatment. Greater than 80% of the global population lack access to and expertise with the technological advancements that allow for state-of-the-art treatments that are more accessible in the West. What follows is a review of a two-pronged solution to help address this global gap to technology and innovation (1) trainee engagement and (2) industry partnerships. We hope to galvanize our readers to see the immense potential for success if we may synergize efforts in education and with our partners in private industry to help address critical unmet needs in emerging economies of the globe.
