In the cited article there are interesting data concerning Residency Training in the specialty in Latin America. However, some of Peru´s data are missing. In Peru, the residency place is offered by a university, so, health centers (public or private centers) may associate with many universities. As Li et al (1) mentioned, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) has the only private training institution. Except for that difference, UPCH and the Universidad San Martín de Porres (USMP) have the same radiation oncology program and curriculum.
