World Radiotherapy Awareness Day

Date: 07 September 2025.
Location: Online and in-person


One Voice for Radiotherapy: Creating World Radiotherapy Awareness Day

We all know that radiotherapy (or radiation therapy) is vital for curing cancer, alleviating symptoms, and improving quality of life. Access to radiotherapy is directly linked to improved survival for many cancers. Radiotherapy is also a highly cost-effective cancer treatment. However, around the world significant regional and national disparities persist. Reasons include inadequate services, geographical barriers, insufficient workforce and lack of awareness of modern radiotherapy amongst patients, the general community, healthcare professionals and policymakers. The purpose of creating a radiotherapy awareness day is to provide a platform and opportunity for the global radiotherapy community to join in focusing the attention of the general public, media and government on the vital importance of radiotherapy. The theme for WRAD for the next three years is “One Voice for Radiotherapy”. WRAD will launch on 7th September 2025, the date the first patient was treated on a linear accelerator.
