摘要：

Radiation therapy (RT) is an essential part of the multidisciplinary treatment of pediatric cancer. Over the past five decades, significant advances have been made in the delivery of RT, with better dose delivery to disease targets while minimizing exposure to nearby organs at risk. These advances have led to improved treatment outcomes, increased survival, and reduced treatment-related toxicities. Advanced treatment techniques, however, require significant investment in infrastructural and personnel resources. This review documents what is currently available regarding expertise and infrastructure for pediatric radiation oncology practice in Nigeria. It was performed to serve as a foundation for the creation and design of tailored solutions (initiatives and policies) to increase pediatric radiation availability, accessibility, and equity in Nigeria and ultimately improve pediatric cancer treatment outcomes in the region.
