The American Society for Radiation Oncology has found its next CEO.
It’s radiation oncologist Vivek Kavadi, MD, MBA, whom the society named to the post June 20 after conducting a nationwide search, according to ASTRO’s announcement.
Kavadi will take the wheel Nov. 1, succeeding Laura Thevenot, who has led ASTRO since 2002 and announced in January that she’d be retiring this year.
Kavadi is presently serving as chief radiation oncology officer at the US Oncology Network. He’s been an ASTRO member since 1994 and previously held longtime clinical and leadership positions at Texas Oncology.
His clinical concentrations are in breast and prostate cancers, and he currently serves on ASTRO’s board of directors. The organization named him a fellow in 2019.
