World Radiotherapy Awareness Day
One voice for radiotherapy
Welcome! We are excited that you want to be part of World Radiotherapy Awareness Day (WRAD). Join our radiotherapy community to raise awareness about this important, life-saving cancer treatment.
TESTIMONIALS
“We can work towards a future where every patient with cancer in Africa has access to the life saving treatment they deserve. Together let us make World Radiotherapy [Awareness] Day a catalyst for action, and a symbol of hope for all Africans impacted by cancer.”
Solomon Kibudde

TESTIMONIALS
“Radiotherapy cured my stage four HPV-related throat cancer over 13 years ago. As a patient I learnt that radiotherapy is equally important to survival as surgery and chemotherapy. Yet most people know nothing about it. Celebrating this international day will spread the word that modern, precise radiotherapy is a vital treatment tool that cancer patients should discuss with their doctors.”
Julie McCrossin
Patient Voice, Australia
TESTIMONIALS
“Awareness alone is not enough. We must speak up, take action and push for change. WRAD gives a chance to amplify our message, engage our voices and inspire action.”
Barbara Jereczek-Fossa
President Elect of ESTRO, Italy
TESTIMONIALS
“My understanding of radiation therapy was limited to what I’d learned on the job over the last few years. But in 2023, my understanding changed dramatically and became first-hand knowledge as I was diagnosed with cancer. My colleagues and I at the American Society for Radiation Oncology are firm believers in educating the public about the power and impact of radiation therapy, and I know that I have radiation therapy to thank for curing my cancer."
Jeff White
Director of Public Relations & Strategic Communications for ASTRO, USA
TESTIMONIALS
“I'm living proof really that radiotherapy works, that it gives you both life and it also gives you quality of life, which is just as important.”
Andy Tudor
