Abstract
This population-based study showed that radiation oncology workload increased at faster rates than the population or incidence of cancer. Measures of treatment complexity indicate an increasing investment for each course of linac treatment, but also the adoption of hypofractionated regimens. These results indicate that radiotherapy manpower requirements cannot be based on population or cancer incidence alone if current technological trends continue.
