Please join us in congratulating Beth Beadle, who has been distinguished by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) as a Fellow of ASTRO. The ASTRO Fellow designation, FASTRO, honors individuals who have contributed significantly to the Society through committee work, other volunteer service and to the field of radiation oncology in the areas of research, education, patient care or leadership. The 2024 class of Fellows were inducted last week during the Awards Ceremony at ASTRO’s 66th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
Congratulations, Dr. Beadle!

Science Advances 2024
July 31, 2024
Researchers at Stanford University have described a back-up DNA repair mechanism which could lead to new treatments for cancer.
The study, published in the journal Science Advances, also sheds light on the mechanism of action of V(D)J recombination and chromosome translocations when this alternative repair pathway takes over.
Our Mission
To bring the most advanced care to our patients by being at the cutting edge of research and technology.
Using the most state-of-the-art imaging systems and radiation delivery platforms in the world, our highly integrated team of physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, nurses, and radiation therapists share a commitment to provide exceptional and compassionate care for patients.
VR Patient Treatment
We recognize that radiotherapy treatment can seem complex and unfamiliar for patients during a difficult time. Our department has created a three-part series of educational videos simulating treatment directed to patients undergoing radiation therapy so they know exactly what to expect.
