Description
Introduction: Planning for radiotherapy (RT) services requires information on the proportion of patients who should be given radiotherapy. Criterion-Based Benchmark (CBB) has been proposed in Canada to estimate the proportion of cancer patients who should be treated with radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to assess CBB in a health system outside of Canada.
