The American Society for Radiation Oncology selected 10 of its members to receive ASTRO fellows designation.
The designees will be recognized during a ceremony at the ASTRO Annual Meeting, scheduled for Sept. 25-28 in Boston.
ASTRO fellows designation honors individuals who have been active or emeritus members of ASTRO for at least 15 years, given the equivalent of 10 years of service to ASTRO, and significantly added to the field of radiation oncology in the areas of research, education, patient care or service and leadership.
The society has recognized 269 fellows since 2006.
“The individuals in this class of ASTRO fellows demonstrate both talent and commitment across multiple aspects of radiation oncology, particularly in clinical care, research, service and education,” ASTRO Chair Bruce D. Minsky, MD, FASTRO, said in a press release. “As is the case for our other fellows, the clinicians and researchers in the 2016 cohort show a clear dedication to improving patients’ lives and advancing our field, especially through service to ASTRO and its initiatives.”
