Annual Meeting - 2021
2021 Annual Meeting
October 24-27
Chicago
ASTRO’S Annual Meeting is the premier radiation oncology scientific event in the world and draws more than 11,000 attendees each year. During the 2021 Annual Meeting we will focus on the need to embrace change so that we can provide better care for our patients. We will also highlight the importance of person centered care, where we will not lose sight that the patient was first a person remembering to always take their perspective into consideration. Additionally we will also highlight the importance of ensuring a focus on the well-being of healthcare workers, who need to take care of themselves in order to care properly for their patients. We will emphasize new scientific discoveries and how to translate new findings into clinical applications, and opportunities for cure. The meeting program will continue to spotlight the importance of safety, quality, palliation and supportive care.
