Abstract

Our world faces transformative challenges that will shape the trajectory of healthcare, including radiation oncology, in the coming decades. Our society will need to adapt to global forces, continuously changing in an era of rapid technological change, a warming planet, changing demographics, economic uncertainty, and global conflicts. The new Society Matters section is an initiative from the Green Journal, which will focus on radiation oncology in a societal frame. As its full title clearly states, ‘Society Matters – Sustainability, Education and Health Care Policy” aims to strengthen the radiation oncology profession and the radiation oncology community by being a platform for research, communication, debate, and dialogue within professional and societal matters such as environmental sustainability, social sustainability (equity, diversity, and inclusion), education, health economics, and health care policy. As a kick-off for the new section, this paper discusses sustainable radiation oncology in a world of change. It also aims to present the scope of articles of interest for the new section.

可持续放射肿瘤学在一个世界与巨大的环境和社会挑战：社会问题-绿色杂志的一个新的部分。

我们的世界面临着变革性的挑战，这些挑战将在未来几十年中塑造包括肿瘤放射学在内的医疗保健行业的发展轨迹。我们的社会需要适应全球力量，在技术快速变革、地球变暖、人口结构变化、经济不确定性和全球冲突的时代不断变化。新的 "社会事务 "版块是绿色期刊的一项倡议，它将在社会框架下关注放射肿瘤学。正如其全称所明确指出的，"社会事务--可持续性、教育和医疗保健政策 "旨在加强放射肿瘤学专业和放射肿瘤学社区，为专业和社会事务（如环境可持续性、社会可持续性（公平、多样性和包容性）、教育、卫生经济学和医疗保健政策）的研究、交流、辩论和对话提供一个平台。作为新版块的开篇，本文讨论了变革世界中的可持续放射肿瘤学。本文还旨在介绍新版块的相关文章范围。
