It is time we apply that same rigor to the environmental impact of the care we deliver. Modern cancer care is among medicine’s greatest achievements. It is also among its most resource-intensive. The energy demands of imaging and radiation technologies, the volume of single-use instruments and materials, the carbon footprint of clinical travel and supply chains — these are not incidental features of our work. They are embedded in how we practice, and they deserve our attention. This is not a simple problem, and I am not here to prescribe simple solutions. What I do believe is that awareness is where change begins — and that our community is well-positioned to lead this conversation.
