Werner Burkart, IAEA's Deputy Director General, Nuclear Science and Applications, spoke with Sasha Henriques about the IAEA's role in the improving cancer care and control in the developing world.The IAEA has more than 50 years of experience in using nuclear science to benefit mankind, which includes bringing radiation diagnosis and therapy to our Member States. But the general public and the media often know little about this because we have a public image dominated by our role as 'nuclear watchdog'. What many people do not realize is that radiation medicine is the cornerstone of cancer control. Hopefully, the Scientific Forum's focus on cancer will enable us to spread this message.
