Advancing radiation oncology through scientific publication--100 volumes of Radiotherapy and Oncology.

摘要

Estrp, the European Society for Therapeutic Radiation Oncology, or with its new name European Society for Radiation Oncology, is a scientific society. It means that the prime aim of ESTRO is to bring to bring people together on an individual basis who have a common interest in improving the scientific conduct of radiotherapy and cancer treatment in Europe by ensuring that proper radiotherapy is available in the multidisciplinary treatment of cancer and applied with the right indication and with the most optimal technique. One of the main aims of this endeavour was to create a platform for scientific exchange through meetings and through the establishment of a scientific journal [1]. Thus Radiotherapy and Oncology was launched shortly after the foundation of ESTRO and has become the society's prime vehicle for scientific communication by serving ESTRO members through almost the entire 30 years of the society's existence.
