Our Committees
Our active members are at the forefront of clinical and scientific trends and best practices and play a critical role in shaping the future of SRS, SBRT and related focal therapies. This is why the ISRS Board of Directors appoints committees including member participation. These committees put our mission into action, ensuring we make a meaningful difference for our patients’ outcomes while driving innovation. Our officers stay informed on committee progress through regular updates.
