Exclusive: Analysis of NHS data by Radiotherapy UK also shows some patients face waits of up to six months
More than 60,000 cancer patients a year are not getting the radiotherapy they need at all, while some patients in England face waits of up to six months to begin the treatment, according to research.
The situation is so dire that nearly 100 heads of radiotherapy and oncology – three-quarters of England’s radiotherapy leaders – have warned in an open letter that the government is failing patients.
