Access to brachytherapy treatment for cervical cancer management in Africa

20242 citationsOpen accessCape Peninsula University of Technology

Abstract

Due to the rising incidence of cervical cancer in Africa, the number of brachytherapy equipment was woefully inadequate. Consequently, Africa requires partnerships and financial support to facilitate the quantity and accessibility of brachytherapy services. This will enable the provision of thorough and holistic care to patients and enhance their quality of life.
