Congratulations to the 2026 class of ASTRO Fellows

Thirty-nine distinguished members of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) have been named Fellows of ASTRO. The ASTRO Fellow designation, or FASTRO, honors members who have given significant volunteer service to the Society and contributed to the field of radiation oncology in the areas of research, education, patient care or leadership.

Typically, 15 years of ASTRO membership are required for consideration, however, individuals with less than 15 years of membership who have demonstrated substantial service to the Society may be considered for fellowship. Active, International, and Emeritus members are eligible for nomination by current ASTRO Fellows and supported by leaders in the field.
