Visit the new RT Answers
ASTRO's patient resource at www.rtanswers.org has a new look. Based on feedback from patients and health care professionals, the site has been redesigned to be more user-friendly. It includes more pictures of treatments and includes an advanced "Doctor Finder" feature to allow patients to search for a radiation oncologist based on location, diseases treated, and languages spoken. New for the site is a "Be an Advocate" section that helps people with cancer and their families get involved in advocacy in the cancer community. Visit www.astro.org/shop to order RT Answers posters to hang in your clinic.
