description Radiation therapy (RT) for patients with cancer in Jordan began with a small individual effort and has now grown to be one of the most prominent treatment centers in the Middle East. Currently, there are 4 different centers that provide RT not only for the people of Jordan but also for citizens of other neighboring Arab countries. Because Jordan is a developing country, it still faces problems with the insufficient number of RT machines available and their supporting staff (physicists and technologists among others). In this article, we shed light on the history and current status of radiation oncology in Jordan and discuss the challenges we face.
