A brief back ground of high-LET radiotherapy developments and its current status will be presented. In addition, based on my experience in developing a program on cancer prevention and early detection in rural India, the gulf between sophisticated developments in cancer diagnosis and treatment and the basic needs in the developing world will be presented with some possible solutions. INTRODUCTION High-LET radiotherapy has a long history of 6 decades. For the past three decades, high- LET radiotherapy has followed the scientific interacting culture beyond national boundaries developed by high-energy physicists. International collaboration in high-LET radiotherapy has helped to maintain stability in the systematic development of this field, which is difficult to maintain in a given country because of economic and political considerations. This international collaboration might serve as a good model for other disciplines of medicine.
