External Radiotherapy in Mozambique: Report of the First Five Years of Activity of the Radiotherapy Service of the Maputo Central Hospital
The RS-MCH improved access to radiotherapy for cancer patients, particularly those with cervical and breast cancers. Patients undergoing palliative treatment and those with anal/rectal cancers started radiotherapy earlier. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact of radiotherapy on mortality, survival, and in patient-centered outcomes.
