In the article, the authors discuss the impact of the decision by U.S. President Donald Trump to leave the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Iran and 5+1 group countries to Iran's cancer patients. Also cited are the disruption of the patients' radiation treatment program due to restrictions on radiotherapy equipment supply, and the worsening conditions on brachytherapy centers due to the U.S. sanctions.
