No one knows exactly how many oncologists, nurses, physicists and pathologists each country has or needs. A public, regularly updated model would let governments plan training and spot shortfalls years ahead.
Estimates of oncology workforce density are scattered across surveys and often a decade old. An open model combining registry burden (GLOBOCAN), treatment utilisation rates, professional-body registers, and training-pipeline data would project supply and demand by profession and country to 2040 and would show the effect of training decisions. The model would be maintained as a public good with annual updates.
