Clinicians from Leading Radiation Oncology Practice Chosen to Present Research at Annual Conference
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (PRWEB) September 23, 2017 -- Fort Myers, Florida-based 21st Century Oncology is proud to announce the acceptance of several Poster Discussions as part of this year’s American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting. ASTRO’s annual meeting is the premier radiation oncology scientific event where over 11,000 clinical professionals share research and best practices to help enhance patient care.
Poster Viewings allow clinicians from all over the world to meet 21st Century Oncology researchers and authors to discuss cutting-edge clinical research findings. These discussions are essential to the ongoing modernization of radiation therapy in local communities.
“Our research at 21st Century Oncology is a testament to the quality of care provided in community cancer care settings. Our physicians could be treating at academic centers throughout the world, but have chosen to bring their talents to local and regional settings, where research is just as important as the academic setting,” said Constantine Mantz, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of 21st Century Oncology.
