Prevalence of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and access to supportive care in cancer in France, Brazil, Russia, USA & China

There is no unambiguous definition of Supportive Care in Cancer (SCC). No international comparative evaluation of SCC access has previously been carried out. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of treatment with radiotherapy (RT) and/or chemotherapy (CT) in the general adult population in five countries (France, China, Russia, USA and Brazil) and to evaluate the use of different SCCs in this sub-population.
