Pediatric Proton Foundation to Hold Annual Meeting at ASTRO

The Annual Meeting of the Pediatric Proton Foundation will be held at ASTRO in South Miami Beach the first week of October.  Wow!  As we look back on the year, we have so many accomplishments to be proud of given our limited size.  For the first time we published a survey in conjunction with the National Association for Proton Therapy entitled, "Pediatric Proton Therapy in the United States: Patterns of Care 2010."  We were impressed with the findings which revealed 45 diseases were treated in 2010.  Children under 8 being the majority of those pediatrics treated.  We will be reporting these and other findings during our meetings and fellowship during ASTRO.  Stay tuned!

 Thank you for your continued interest in pediatric proton.
