ASTRO, here’s looking at you!

I hope you’ve noticed that in the past year, we’ve been working hard to improve the content in this ASTROnews. We are including more feature articles with information to improve your practices, such as our recent articles on preparing for natural disasters and how practices are benefiting from adding patient navigator programs.

We have also worked to move the content online to its new home at http://cs.astro.org/blogs/astronews. (Earlier issues are at www.astro.org/Publications.) The last issue of ASTROnews (our spring edition) is now online and allows keyword searches. Members can log in, rate articles and leave comments. Please do give us your feedback. ASTRO is the world’s largest community of radiation oncologists and collaborators, and we want to make sure we’re providing the most useful content. This site is also home to some online only content such as breaking news from our Government Relations and Health Policy departments on legislative and regulatory changes that may affect your practices. Please add our site to your bookmarks or favorites.

We are also expanding our editorial bench with a new editorial board. The intent is to blend members from academic and community practices with international, nursing, physics and trainee representation to expand the reach of ASTROnews.
