Mtchell will receive the award on Sept. 26 at ASTRO’s 59th Annual Meeting in San Diego.“Dr. Edith Mitchell has been a longtime proponent of combined modality treatment—using chemotherapy and radiation therapy together in order to provide cancer patients with the best possible outcomes,” says ASTRO chair David Beyer. “Our specialty is privileged to have a champion such as Dr. Mitchell, who is a widely respected clinician as well as decorated military veteran.
