N2  - Humanitarian engineering focuses on programs that are affordable, sustainable, and based on local resources, and is one way to address the emerging problem of cancer in the global setting. This text presents case studies, drawn from a variety of disciplines including radiation oncology, a medical speciality that involves the controlled use of radiation to treat cancer. Together these illustrate the ways in which humanitarian engineering can address the acute global need for cancer care. Part of IOP Series in Global Health and Radiation Oncology
