Dave Buck, Executive Chair, Radiation Research Executive Committee, SCRI at Blue Ridge Cancer Care, shared on LinkedIn:
“One of the most rewarding parts of my career is seeing how advances in cancer care can change a patient’s future.
Over the past several years, we’ve made tremendous progress in radiation oncology. Yet one of the biggest misconceptions I still encounter is that many people associate radiation therapy with older treatment techniques and the side effects that came with them.
Through my work at Blue Ridge Cancer Care and Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI), I’ve had the opportunity to help bring innovative treatments to patients while advancing research that continues to shape the future of radiation oncology. I believe we need to do a better job helping patients understand how much the field has evolved.
