Greetings on behalf of the KASTRO organizing committee!
We’ve had tremendous growth within KASTRO this year and are excited about new developments and achievements of our organization. We are grateful for your continued support and membership.
Our annual 2024 KASTRO meeting in Washington, DC at Saint Yves was a spectacular time with 47 in attendance and a buffet of delicious Korean food, no less! This was preceded by the 2nd annual KASTRO Dynamic Wedge golf tournament at the Army Navy Country Club. While we had a lower number of players than the year prior (and not the most ideal weather), a great time was had by all!
This year, we are excited to share that our proposal for a joint symposium with KOSRO was accepted at the ASTRO 2025 annual meeting thanks to the tireless efforts of our Scientific Chair Dr. Henry Park and the KOSRO Scientific Chair Dr. Jun Won Kim. The session will be held on Tuesday, September 30th at 8am and will be on the topic of radiation treatments for non-malignant diseases. We encourage a strong turnout and participation so that we can continue to share knowledge between our two organizations and with the larger community. …

Re-MEMBER KASTRO
Dear colleagues, friends, current and future KASTRO members,
This is Nathan Kim, coming to you almost halfway through 2023, with GREAT NEWS!
KASTRO 2023, San Diego is now officially OPEN for registration.
I am beyond excited as we are anticipating a fantastic meeting once again. Beyond the outstanding program, the outrageously generous educational travel grants, and the camaraderie of the US and Korean/International attendees, our firm belief is that KASTRO will once again be great, because of YOU, the members who attend. Each and every one of YOU, who are part of this organization breathes and renews life and character to KASTRO each year, as we continue to not only survive but thrive, and as we make lasting memories (“Choo-UK”). Simply put, YOU make KASTRO great!
Read moreDear KASTRO Members:
The past year continues to find KASTRO in a stage of evolution and growth. There has been an infusion of energy into the organization, in large part due to the increase in resident and young attending interest in being active in new KASTRO initiatives. Of course, none of this would be made possible without the stalwart guidance and support of our longtime leadership, who provide a strong foundation for our organization during their many years of service. …
