Abstract
The number of obese patients has increased in France over the last two decades, which has had an impact on the incidence of numerous types of cancer. The treatment of cancer by radiotherapy is impacted by obesity as a result of the physical, technical and dosimetric constraints, the acute and late toxicity, local control and the survival of patients.
