RTTs have identified room for improvement in the provision of cancer care to patients with ADRD. There appears to be a lack of knowledge of departmental procedures surrounding ADRD, which may reflect a lack of procedures. Overall, total knowledge and attitude scores do not seem to differ from similar studies with radiographers 3 or nursing 4 .

Keywords: Radiation therapy, dementia, geriatric oncology
