Abstract

Medical physics techniques are vital for cancer diagnosis and treatment in resource-limited settings. A scoping review methodology was employed to identify relevant studies, guidelines, and policies related to cancer diagnosis and treatment using medical physics techniques. Findings indicate a predominance of computed tomography (CT) for diagnostic purposes and radiotherapy machines with varying levels of technological sophistication. The analysis suggests that while CT is widely used in Benin, the adoption and maintenance of advanced radiation therapy equipment are constrained by financial and technical challenges. Introduce targeted interventions to enhance access to state-of-the-art medical physics technologies for cancer treatment in resource-limited settings of Benin. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
