Impact of radiotherapy underutilisation measured by survival shortfall, years of potential life lost and disability-adjusted life years lost in New South Wales, Australia

Despite evidence of the benefits of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of cancer patients, its underutilisation has been reported for various tumour sites. The aim of this study was to estimate survival shortfall, 'years of potential life lost' (YPLL) and 'disability-adjusted life years lost' (DALY) to demonstrate the impact of radiotherapy underutilisation in Australia.
