Author Information

Dr. Roger Robison began practicing as a medical oncologist in 1969. He trained in radiation oncology during 1978-80 at M.D. Anderson Hospital where radium therapy was utilized and where one of the first artificial radium (cobalt) machines was invented. Dr. Robison was selected by the international journal Acta Oncology to write the featured monograph for their centennial issue entitled The Race for Megavoltage. As Vice Chairman and then Chairman of the History Committee of the American Society of Therapeutic Radiation & Oncology during 2001-2010, he had the opportunity to interview many of the pioneers in radium therapy while co-authoring the fifty year history of the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology & Oncology (ASTRO).
