The American Society for Radiation Oncology designated 23 members as ASTRO fellows.
The honorees will be recognized during the society’s annual meeting, scheduled for Sept. 24-27 in San Diego.
ASTRO fellows designation honors individuals who have been active, emeritus or international members of the society 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 292 fellows since 2006.

Beyer, MD, FASTRO, said in a society-issued press release. “On behalf of ASTRO, I commend and thank these 23 outstanding physicians and medical physicists for their far-reaching contributions over the years — through research and patient care — to our specialty and the fight against cancer.”
