HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH: AMERICAN SOCIETY OF RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGISTS (ASRT) ANNUAL MEETING ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENTS IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY (ARRO) SCIENCE BASED, PATIENT DRIVEN SOCIETY FOR RADIATION ONCOLOGY ADMINISTRATORS (SROA) www.astro.org/annualmeeting #ASTRO13 Welcome TO THE 55TH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR RADIATION ONCOLOGY “Patients: Hope, Guide, Heal” Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, I would like to welcome you to ASTRO’s 55th Annual Meeting. We have developed an exciting program that will provide many opportunities for exchanging scientifi c information as well as professional networking. The theme this year is “Patients: Hope, Guide, Heal.” Given all of the changes we are facing in health care, I feel that it is extremely important to keep our focus on our patients and the best care we can provide them. With this in mind, the Annual Meeting will provide an array of education on safety, multidisciplinary care, reimbursement, technology assessments and the importance of registries. The Annual Meeting program begins with the Presidential Symposium, “Prostate Cancer: Patient Focused Advances,” on Sunday. Moderated by Deborah A. Kuban, MD, FASTRO, and Anthony L. Zietman, MD, FASTRO, the symposium will focus on controversial and cutting-edge issues with a patient-centered view. On Sunday afternoon, guest lecturer Jeff A. Sloan, PhD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., will help us better comprehend the impact of patient-reported outcomes on our ability to improve patient care. Our keynote speakers, Darrell G. Kirch, MD, Otis W. Brawley, MD, and Peter Friedl, MD, PhD, will continue the focus on patients and help push us to better patient care (see page 45 for more details). The Annual Meeting Scientifi c Committee chairman and vice-chairman Lynn D. Wilson, MD, MPH, FASTRO, and Benjamin Movsas, MD, FASTRO, and the Annual Meeting Education Committee chairman and vice-chairman Andrea Ng, MD, and Catherine Park, MD, have put together a fabulous program with 19 panel discussions, 50 educational sessions, 363 oral presentations, 1,460 poster presentations and 144 digital posters in 19 disease site tracks. I invite you to join me in congratulating the 2013 Gold Medalists, Honorary Member and ASTRO Fellows during the Awards Ceremony on Tuesday at 10:15 a.m. in the Thomas Murphy Ballroom. These colleagues have impacted us all through their work, and it is a pleasure to recognize their achievements. Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to interact with our industry colleagues, who will display the latest developments and technology in cancer treatment in the Exhibit Hall. I hope the Annual Meeting serves as a positive professional and educational experience, and that you are able to enjoy all of the amenities Atlanta has to off er. Sincerely, Colleen A. F.
