The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) will host its 60th Annual Meeting at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, October 21-24, 2018.
The event is expected to attract approximately 11,000 oncologists, researchers and other industry stakeholders from around the world.
Researchers will present peer-reviewed abstracts on advances in clinical care for cancer patients, panels and case discussions will feature leading experts and underscore the meeting’s theme, “Translating Discovery to Cure,” and the exhibit hall will be filled with leading manufacturers showcasing their latest offerings. As always, the meeting will feature updates from clinical trials and cancer research involving radiation therapy. At last year’s ASTRO meeting, our reporters noticed
four themes at the show, which conveniently all began with the letter P: planning, precision, protons and the patient.
While those topics are sure to continue dominating conversations at this year’s meeting, it will be interesting to see how the focus has shifted.
