Letter in response to Laing et al., “An evaluation of radiation therapy patient body mass index trends and potential impact on departmental resource planning”

Abstract

“An evaluation of radiation therapy patient body mass index trends and potential impact on departmental resource planning” by Laing et al. The authors’ comment that research into the experiences of larger bodied patients should focus on compassionately improving care for this patient population rather than framing large‐bodied patients as a burden or problem, and should include commentary on the effects of weight‐bias in the healthcare system.
