About
Eduardo Zubizarreta is a leading figure in global radiation oncology, whose work has profoundly shaped the understanding of cancer care disparities in low- and middle-income countries. His research centers on radiotherapy infrastructure, human resource capacity, and the strategic planning needed to bridge critical treatment gaps. Zubizarreta’s most influential contribution, the landmark study "Radiotherapy in South Asia: Infrastructure, Human Resource Capacity, and Future Needs" (2017), systematically quantified the severe shortages of linear accelerators and trained personnel across the region, providing a data-driven roadmap for policymakers and international health organizations. This work, alongside his broader analyses of global radiotherapy access, has been instrumental in advocating for equitable cancer care, influencing initiatives by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the World Health Organization. With over 2 citations on his seminal paper and a career dedicated to mapping the unmet needs of underserved populations, Zubizarreta’s research continues to guide investments in technology, training, and infrastructure, ensuring that radiotherapy becomes a viable treatment option for millions who currently lack access.
