WELCOME TO ACRO 2016Orlando, FLOrlando,Exploring the Standard of Care in Radiation OncologyDear Colleague, MARCH 17-19, 2016 Welcome to the 26th Annual Meeting of the American College of Radiation Oncology.Over the past quarter century, ACRO has hosted an intimate and uncluttered annual clinical conference encompassing abroad spectrum of educational offerings in a comfortable and effective learning environment, featuring presentations fromthe best and brightest minds in cancer treatment. The 2016 meeting, as we’ve planned it, will stick closely to the spirit ofthe previous conferences with a focus on many of the cutting-edge developments and how to use these breakthroughs totreat our patients.The 2016 conference has been planned to highlight the latest clinical information on major disease sites with newtechniques and technologies, linking didatic clinical/practice updates with interactive debates to address the controversieswe face in clinic everyday.One of the hallmarks of ACRO annual conferences is their low-stress approach to intense CME. There is no rushing aroundto get from one short presentation to another; all the sessions are in the same room and are long enough to allow ampletime for each speaker to explore the subject and to answer questions. With less than 300 doctors present, attendees find thisan oasis of calm after most other radiation oncology meetings. So, if you want an in-depth and practical discussion of thesubject from top clinical experts, with the opportunity to ask questions one-on-one, then ACRO 2016 is for you.This will be a superb meeting for physicians interested in becoming the champions of their field.Welcome to Orlando!James Welsh,MD, FACROPresidentEduardo Fernandez,MD, PhD, FACROVice President & GeneralProgram Chair2016 Scientific Program CommitteeJulia White, MD, ChairValerie Brown, CPSEduardo Fernandez, MD, PhD, FACROSteven Finkelstein, MDGarrett Green, MDLawrence Kleinberg, MDMohan Suntharalingam, MDTarita Thomas, MDEvan Wuthrick, MDCatheryn Yashar, MD, FACROJulia White, MDChair, Scientific ProgramCommittee2016 Annual MeetingProgram CommitteeGeneral ChairEduardo Fernandez, MD, PhD, FACROScientific Program Committee ChairJulia White, MDDevelopment Committee ChairHarvey Wolkov, MD, FACROCME CoordinatorValerie Brown, CPSExecutive DirectorNorman Wallis, PhDCollege CoordinatorJames LeckieLawrence Kleinberg, MDVice Chair, ScientificProgram Committee
