En route for @ASTRO_org#ASTROAdvocacy Day! Why is #radonc#advocacy so important to me? Because health policy directly affects patients with cancer’s ability to access & afford life saving treatments like radiation. ☢️🇺🇸🗽🧬Bad policy widens health care inequities & costs lives.

We are in support of the Biden administration's renewed commitment to the Cancer Moonshot. Read our full statement here: astro.org/News-and-Publicati…#RadOnc
Today, I’m proud to announce our plan to supercharge the Cancer Moonshot as a central effort of the Biden-Harris Administration.
Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years.
It’s bold, ambitious, and completely doable.
Officially transitioning to the new ASTRO Board Chair, Dr. Laura Dawson. An excellent successor, I wish her the best of luck and know she will do a fantastic job! @ASTRO_org and #RadOnc is in great hands!
#ICYMI: ASTRO has a new resource to help introduce #MedStudents to #RadOnc. Two presentations, narrated by @MalcolmMattesMD, provide an introduction to radiation oncology, the job market, and future prospects of the specialty. View here and share: ow.ly/3ng950FXmL3
ASTRO urges @CMSGov to delay the #ROModel Clinical Data Element (CDE) requirements & consolidate reporting deadlines. ASTRO remains concerned that the #ROModel will have a detrimental impact on practices. Read the ASTRO comment letter here: ow.ly/w3DC50FTEgQ#ASTROadvocacy
