How Much Can Optimization of Hypofractionation Help to Reduce Carbon Equivalent Emissions? A Single-Center Modeling Study
Purpose: Climate change poses a major threat to public health. The health care sector paradoxically contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. In radiation therapy, increased hypofractionation could reduce both patient transport and linear accelerator (LINAC) use, but the size of the imp...
