Congratulations to Dr. Andrea Bezjak on receiving the James D. Cox Lectureship Award at the 2024 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer

Congratulations to Dr. Andrea Bezjak, UTDRO Professor and Director of the Radiation Oncology Residency Program, who was awarded the James D. Cox Lectureship Award for Radiation Oncology on September 10, 2024, for her outstanding contributions to thoracic radiation oncology at the 2024 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer.

Each year at the World Conference on Lung Cancer, The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) presents awards to clinicians and researchers who made significant contributions to the fight against lung cancer. The awardees are invited to receive their awards and deliver a state-of-the-art lecture during the conference. This year, nine expert clinicians and researchers, including Dr. Bezjak, were recognized for their contributions to lung cancer treatment.

“Advances in technology put a greater onus on us as oncology teams to really be working collaboratively and keeping up with advances in all of the fields—surgical, medical, and radiation — and to bring those advances to patients wherever they are being managed, from academic centers to community hospitals all over the globe.

I would like this award to be a reminder to those who are not within the field of radiation oncology about how much we provide for our patients, and to be a stimulus for the next generation of radiation oncologists to carry on with research and further advances in care.”

– Dr. Andrea Bezjak
