Thank you for your participation in CARO’s 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting – Targeting Biology. YOUR participation made this event a success. A special thank you to CARO’s guest speakers: Drs. Kian Ang, Fei-Fei Liu, Kevin Camphausen, Mihai Ghilezan, Donal Hollywood and Ann Hansen Ree, for the high quality lectures and engagement in the meeting, setting the stage for CARO to fully embrace Molecular Radiation Oncology and the next generation of clinical trials.
With over 400 delegates and a record number of CARO member registrants, we had many opportunities to meet, mingle, network and “sweat-work”! The Social program included the Welcome Reception, the Residents and Fellows social evening at the National Arts Centre (sponsored by Janssen), the annual dinner and awards ceremony at the Museum of Civilization and the 2nd annual CROF Fun RUN/WALK along the Rideau Canal. This year’s winners were David Palma (1st place male runner) Melanie Letourneau (1st place female runner) Caroline Holloway 1st place female walker) and Peter Dixon (1st place male walker). Top and fundraiser this year was Pamela Catton, with two honorable mentions going to Guila Delouya and Richard Tsang who both raised over $1,000 in pledges. Kudos also goes to the Running Room (who led us off), 3-Way Street who donated the online registration technology and Janssen who made a corporate donation. With pledges totaling over $21,000, this run promises to be a regular event at the ASM.

Undoubtedly you will return to the clinic new ideas, insights, knowledge and opportunities for collaboration to share with your colleagues. I encourage you to invite them to join us next year in Montréal (September 18-21, 2013) at the Hilton Bonaventure for the CARO/COMP meeting “Innovations In Imaging”. While the ASM committee has already begun work for 2013 they await your feedback so that the ASM will continue to meet the needs of the CARO membership.
Dr. Christina Aquino Parsons Chair, 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting Committee
