title: Prevalence of back pain among radiation therapists.
abstract: Low back pain among radiation therapists appears to be positively associated with age, time working as a radiation therapist and a number of other factors including level of fitness and perceived stress levels. These are the authors' findings from a pilot survey they conducted of radiation therapists employed in eight radiation oncology departments.
