In this study, we aim to quantify the annual GHG emissions in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO<sub>2</sub>e) from EBRT in the U.S., estimate their down-stream impact on human health in terms of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost, and evaluate the potential reduction in emissions through increased adoption of hypofractionation, using early-stage breast cancer as a model.</p><p><strong>Materials/methods: </strong>This is a retrospective analysis using life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, integrating real-world data on patient transportation and energy use, and simulations of alternative fractionation schedules following previously established breast treatment guidelines.

Eligible patients had biopsy- or imaging-confirmed local recurrence and ECOG performance status 0–2.

Radiotherapy has a significant carbon footprint, primarily driven by patient transportation emissions in Europe.</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>This study aimed to determine if strategically located new Radiotherapy Units (RUs) and Linear Accelerator (LINAC) reallocation could simultaneously improve accessibility and reduce the carbon footprint of External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) in France.</div></div><div><h3>Methodology</h3><div>A national-scale Location-Allocation (LA) model, incorporating accessibility efficiency and equity, resource density, and greenhouse gas emissions, was used. Sensitivity analysis was used to assess the robustness of the results.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>We identified 27 potential locations for new RUs across 13 geographically independent clusters. Increase in emissions for the creation and maintenance is compensated with a mean carbon Return on Investment (ROI) of 4.6 years. Implementing the optimal RU within each cluster and reallocating LINACs would save an estimated 26,050 tons of CO2eq over a 10-year period, corresponding to ≈326 years in good health (DALYs) saved in the future. Public transport accessibility to an RU within 45 min would be gained for 405,487 individuals (0.6 %), and driving duration would improve for 3,301,705 (4.8 %). An additional 912 patients annually who currently do not receive radiotherapy due to excessive travel times (decay effect) would be treated.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Strategically located new Radiotherapy Units and LINAC reallocation can improve both accessibility and reduce the carbon footprint of EBRT.
