This infographic highlights how nuclear technology fights cancer. Globally, 10 million people die from cancer each year, and deaths could double by 2045, with over 50% needing radiotherapy.
The IAEA Rays of Hope program involves 100+ countries, has raised €90 million for cancer care, set up 18 training centers, and trained 700+ experts. Its impact is expanding treatment in low‑access areas, bringing care closer to patients, and supporting hospitals.
The key message is that nuclear technology has turned cancer from a fatal disease into a clinically controllable condition. Today is World Cancer Day, raising awareness and promoting cancer research.
