Canadian Association of Radiation Oncology - CARO

About the organization
Medical doctors with specialized expertise in using radiotherapy in the treatment of cancer, working together alongside medical physicists and radiation therapists to deliver quality care. As the national association for this vital profession, the Canadian Association of Radiation Oncology (CARO) promotes and supports professional and development training for our practitioners, public education and awareness, and collaboration with other healthcare disciplines.

CARO advocates and works closely with other organizations on the provincial and national level, including the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists, the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists, and the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology, to promote timely access to high quality radiation therapy. Through our collective efforts, we help to continually improve the quality of Radiation Oncology services in Canada and, ultimately, ensure the best care for patients.

Internationally, CARO maintains an important reciprocal relationship with the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy and Oncology, as well as the Union for International Cancer Control.
