Introduction

Cancer has become a significant public unhealthiness within the world. In keeping with world Cancer Observatory in 2018, the incidence rate was 236.9 and mortality was a hundred twenty five Per 100,000 person-years for all cancers. Though voluminous folks die from cancer annually, high-income countries have achieved a decrease in incidence and mortality because of influencing factors like risk management, early detection, diagnostic approach, and timely treatment [1].

In South American nation, in keeping with Globocan the incidence rate was 215.9 and mortality was 102.5 per 100,000 person-years. Among the most causes of cancer death within the country area unit respiratory organ, colon, rectum, stomach, prostate, and breast.1 The priority issues that hinder comprehensive cancer care and negatively have an effect on the decrease in cancer incidence and mortality within the country area unit lack of specialised and subspecialized human resources in oncology; underdevelopment of palliative care and support services for families and caregivers; fragmentation of service delivery; and lack of articulation between preventive and curative services; deficient system of regulation, observation and management of the availability of services, use of medicine medicines and quality of care; troublesome management of care prices because of fragmentation, catching and payment modalities, negotiation of rates, and provide of medicines; and nonbeing of integrated crucial care routes [2,3]. Achieving comprehensive cancer take care of patients depends on the articulation of the various medical, surgical, and therapy medical specialty specialties and therefore the effective interaction between services of diagnostic and social support that area unit complementary. In high-income countries wherever the burden of cancer malady is high, the cancer care is focused in comprehensive treatment centers that enable multimodal management with therapy, surgery, and therapy. The high volume of patients at these centers improves the medical expertise and clinical outcomes.

Specialized services like therapy area unit essential within the comprehensive treatment of cancer. The use rate of therapy varies wide internationally however roughly five hundredth of all patients with cancer should receive radiation at some purpose throughout their treatment. In South American nation these specialised services area unit focused within the five giant cities, and it's not acknowledged if the quantity of apparatus and therapy centers area unit adequate in keeping with the cancer malady burden. The study seeks to estimate the availability and demand of therapy services within the country and to estimate future wants in keeping with the cancer malady burden within the Colombian population in 2035. The cases that needed radiation were calculable by sort of cancer, as according within the study which makes associate estimation of the best utilization of radiation services for all cancers consistent with the evidence-based indications that show higher clinical outcomes (overall survival, disease-free survival, quality of life, or toxicity profiles) with the employment of radiation compared with various treatments the share of best use by sort of cancer and sex. Solely the employment of 1 radiation treatment was calculable within the initial management [4-6].

Discussion

This study presents an outline of the availability and demand of current and future radiotherapy services for Republic of Colombia. radiotherapy is a vital element for the treatment of cancer considering that between four-hundredth and hour of patients with cancer would like radiotherapy as a part of their clinical management in step with the estimates created within the gift study for Republic of Colombia in 2020, the share of cancers that will would like radiotherapy for his or her initial management would be between forty second and fifty three not as well as palliative management and re-irradiations. The International nuclear energy Agency estimates that in low- and middleincome countries (LMIC) the optimum rate of radiotherapy use is fifty fifth for incident cancers with a tenth likelihood of retreatment. To manage this population, the country would wish to possess ninety seven accelerators and increase the quantity of those to 147 to fulfil the sickness burden.

The study calculable that megavoltage machine coverage is sixty fifth that is not up to that calculable for geographic area and better than that of Asia Compared with countries of higher middle-income countries (U-MIC) like Republic of Colombia in geographic area and Asia, the behaviour is comparable, seventy six and fifty one, severally. Presently, the quantity of megavoltage machines per million individuals in our country is one not up to that of U-MIC countries in geographic area and like that of U-MIC countries in Asia. In highincome countries, radiotherapy is employed in additional than five hundredth of the cases with completely different functions like cure, palliation of symptoms, and management of sickness progression. Though radiotherapy is essential to the survival of cancer patients, the inclusion of this treatment in clinical management is commonly the expedient thought-about, leading to intolerably low access to radiotherapy worldwide [7-9].

Radiation therapy permits for the treatment of the many cancer cases and generates economic advantages for the health sector by being effective, once it's used as associate degree adjuvant or curative definitive treatment, and low price compared with the prices of latest therapy treatments. However, the provision of those services varies round the world as a result of it depends mostly on the economic resources and infrastructure of health services within the country.

The growing cancer burden and also the high price of its management by new technologies, chiefly therapy, presents a challenge to health systems, that needs extremely cost-efficient technologies like radiotherapy to create economical use of scarce health resources. Countries like Brazil, where 830,000 new cases of cancer square measure calculable for the year 2035, in response to the growing cancer burden. Planned to expand radiotherapy services to correct the deficit of services and meet the prevailing demand, providing the country with hi-tech instrumentality. Among its main challenges for fast enlargement was the coaching of associate degree adequate variety and quality of human talent specialised in radiotherapy. it's clear that there's a deficit in access to radiotherapy throughout the planet, however the most limitations square measure the shortage of investment, that causes difficulties in access to services, particularly in LMIC, wherever the technology is obsolete.

Since Law one hundred was passed in 1993, Republic of Colombia has adopted a system of universal and mandatory insurance for the overall System of social insurance in Health (SGSSS by its Spanish acronym). This reform sought-after to extend coverage within the provision of health services, increase the number of cash within the system, improve potency within the use of resources, and eventually have a positive result on the morbidity and mortality indicators of the Colombian population, among different functions. The SGSSS is organized as a model of regulated competition on two levels. The primary level is official by the Health Promotion corporations (EPS by its Spanish acronym) that vie for members through the network of services and quality they provide. At the second level square measure the Health Care supplier establishments (IPS by its Spanish acronym) that vie among themselves to get contracts from the EPS, through worth and quality.

Under this market model, the state cannot regulate the availability of health services, and then it's troublesome to demand that centers serving patients with cancer supply quality comprehensive care, with access to the three pillars of cancer treatment: surgery, radiotherapy, and therapy in one place or through a networking model between establishments though these problems are the topic of various rules of Republic of Colombia has not been able to get associate degree adequate development of oncologic services, on condition that there's associate degree accelerated growth of therapy services, compared with radiotherapy services as therapy services square measure less expensive to implement. At market costs the value of a linac is within the vary of $US two 100,000 to 2,520,000, a brachytherapy instrumentality $US 350,000 to 500,000, associate degree exclusive TAC for simulation $US five hundred,000 to 620,000, the prices of measuring, mild room, immobilization systems around $US 620,000. additionally, the infrastructure prices square measure around $US one,000,000, and also the maintenance of the instrumentality within the order of $US fifty,000 per month [10-15].The high price of implementation and also the low tariffs haven't inspired the event of this sort of service within the country.

Conclusion

The country presently doesn't have a proposal of actinotherapy services in accordance with the illness burden, inflicting fragmentation within the care, issues of chance for access to treatment with curative intent, quality of delivery, comprehensiveness of care, and possibly off medicine results. Increasing the availability of services and human resources in actinotherapy becomes a challenge for the country as a result of the coaching of specialised workers and therefore the construction of actinotherapy facilities needs a high investment of resources and time to be enforced. However, attributable to the approaching increase within the incidence of cancer this challenge should be accepted. a technique in line with the country may well be the strengthening of the availability of comprehensive cancer care centers in line with the deficit by region through investments from partnerships of public and personal entities, the institution of adequate tariffs that stimulate investment during this technology and qualityoriented payment modalities.
