New public awareness campaign focuses on radiation therapy facts

In November, ASTRO launched a new online public awareness campaign, that gives cancer patients the facts about radiation therapy. The campaign includes video interviews with radiation oncologists and patients about what radiation therapy is and how it can cure or treat cancer. The campaign includes a short quiz to test visitors’ knowledge of radiation therapy and an FAQs handout.

The campaign is part of the RTAnswers patient website and is being promoted online and through social media as people seek cancer treatment information. View the videos and access the handout and quiz at www.rtanswers.org/RTinFocus.
