The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) has appointed a new lung cancer committee chair, Jeffrey Bradley, MD, associate professor of radiation oncology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Bradley will bring his experience as chief of thoracic service and director of the S. Lee Kling Center for proton therapy at Washington University to the committee. He will serve on the RTOG Research Strategy Committee and work with investigators from the group’s scientific committees in advancing technology, as well as developing and reporting on protocols designed to improve the outcome and quality of life of lung cancer patients, said the Philadelphia-based group.
