ASTRO offers a variety of publications to keep our members informed.
ASTROnews
The ASTROnews is the Society's quarterly publication. It comes out five times a year and includes a bonus publication called the Annual Meeting Guide that helps attendees prepare for our annual scientific meeting.
ASTROgram
Every other week, the ASTROgram newsletter is e-mailed to our members updating them on important developments in radiation oncology, particularly in education, government relations and health policy.
Coding Guide
The ASTRO/ACR Guide to Radiation Oncology Coding 2010 is an essential coding reference for all radiation oncology practices. The Coding Guide includes 2009 and 2010 coding updates, Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program highlights, updated SRS, SBRT and brachytherapy chapters, as well as new and improved FAQs. The 2010 guide is an easy-to-read manual of specific radiation oncology CPT codes and procedures and will be available in three formats: Web only, Coding Guide only or as a Coding Guide and Web package. These packages may be preordered by visiting the ASTRO Shop.

Patient Brochures
ASTRO publishes more than a dozen brochures in English and Spanish to help patients and their families better understand their treatment options. The brochures can be downloaded for free here or you can purchase printed copies for less than $1.00 per copy, including shipping, from the ASTRO Shop.
Practical Radiation Oncology
Practical Radiation Oncology (PRO) is a quarterly journal whose mission is to improve the quality of radiation oncology practice. It is now accepting manuscript submissions, and the first issue will be published in first quarter 2011.
This journal will be a natural complement to the Society’s primary research journal, the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, and aims to be what Medline defines as a clinical or practice journal. These types of journals have as their dominant purpose either documenting the state of current practice, providing background for those in training or the continuing education of practitioners. A print and online subscription will be included in the dues for all Active, Allied and International members.
Red Journal
The International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, also known as the Red Journal, is the official scientific publication of ASTRO. Published 15 times per year, a print and online subscription is included in the dues for all Active, Allied and International members. For more information on the journal or technical assistance, please call 1-888-437-4636.
