2024 Annual Meeting

ASTRO’s Annual Meeting is the premier radiation oncology scientific event in the world and draws more than 9,000 attendees each year. The theme for the 2024 ASTRO Annual Meeting is “Targeting Provider Wellness for Exceptional Patient Care.” The meeting will focus on provider wellness, an important aspect that deserves our consideration. Being well, treating your physical and mental health is a priority, and living to achieve work-life balance, all go a long way toward helping us serve as a role model for our patients. During the meeting, we will highlight various aspects of provider wellness and corelate how that impacts ideal patient care by empowering radiation oncology professionals across the cancer care community. The program will emphasize patient quality and safety issues in the delivery of radiation therapy, especially advanced radiation techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy. The program will address the disease sites most commonly treated in radiation oncology, the equipment and software used, terminology and professional roles and multidisciplinary care team responsibilities. Program content has been designed to address specific documented and clinically important practice gaps in physician knowledge and competence including disparities and inequities in radiation oncology. There also will be increased involvement of patients and patient advocates who will provide valuable input in all aspects of the meeting design.
