Description
Ann-Katrin Exeli and colleagues survey, in 2026, German radiotherapy professionals on saving energy and cutting carbon emissions in their field. Health care is a major carbon source, and radiotherapy is a heavy contributor through high energy use and patient travel.
Sent through the German Society for Radiooncology mailing list, the survey asked radiation oncologists and physicians about attitudes to energy-saving measures. It also asked about current use of shorter, high-dose treatment schedules. Those schedules cut patient visits. Sustainability leads in cancer centres gain a profession-level snapshot of willingness and practice, showing where energy policy will meet support and where it will meet clinical habit.
