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.

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
