En route for @ASTRO_org #ASTROAdvocacy Day! Why is #radonc #advocacy so important to me? Because health policy directly affects patients with cancer’s ability to access & afford life saving treatments like radiation. ☢️🇺🇸🗽🧬Bad policy widens health care inequities & costs lives.

ASTRO urges @CMSGov to delay the #ROModel Clinical Data Element (CDE) requirements & consolidate reporting deadlines. ASTRO remains concerned that the #ROModel will have a detrimental impact on practices. Read the ASTRO comment letter here: https://t.co/GCDUENkWxw #ASTROadvocacy
