Our Roots
Sino-American Network for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (SANTRO) was established in 2008 by a group of Chinese Radiation Oncologists in North America with the supports from the American Association of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) and the Chinese Association of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (CSTRO). Since our inauguration meeting in 2008 in Beijing, we have facilitated many formal and informal communications between the radiation oncology communities from America and China., including initiating a China Session during each year's ASTRO annual meeting and SANTRO seminar during each CSTRO annual meeting. Every year ASTRO President is invited to deliver a keynote speech at CSTRO annual meeting. The core of our efforts is to bring the radiation oncologists together to advance patient care, research and implementation of technology that will greatly benefit out patients.
