Presented by the ABS Research Council
The Research Council has re-launched in 2024 with a vision for developing initiatives with a meaningful impact on brachytherapy patient care. Over the past year, the members have worked together to initiate projects that address deficits in our current brachytherapy practices. Centered around the hypothesis that brachytherapy quality drives patient outcomes, the group is moving forward to improve consistency in complex brachytherapy procedures and develop methods for better assessment of brachytherapy quality. This presentation reviews the process of bringing our group together, identifying areas of need, and actioning change in our professional society.
