Sociedad Argentina de Terapia Radiante Oncologica

What Sociedad Argentina de Terapia Radiante Oncologica does

Sociedad Argentina de Terapia Radiante Oncológica (SATRO) is a non-profit professional medical society founded in December 1994 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It serves as the primary specialty society for radiation oncology physicians in Argentina, providing continuing education, professional recertification, consensus guidelines, and a national forum for the field. Its membership is composed of practicing radiation oncologists and residents in training, with governance delivered through an elected Board of Directors (Comisión Directiva) led by a President and supported by a Scientific Committee, Ethics Committee, Editorial Committee, and Recertification Committee.

SATRO's core offerings include an annual Argentine Congress of Radiation Oncology (Congreso Argentino de Radioterapia Oncológica), a webinar series (Seminarios Web) that repackages licensed content from the American Society of Radiation Oncology (Best of ASTRO) and RT Chicago/Stockholm programs, a series of 22 bibliographic bulletins, multi-society consensus documents on cancer treatment protocols, and an annual recertification program operated jointly with CRAMA and the Asociación Médica Argentina (AMA). Its Radiation Protection Update Course, recognized by Argentina's Nuclear Regulatory Authority (ARN), adds a credentialing track. The technology platform is a basic member-facing website supplemented by social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn) and WhatsApp-based secretariat support.

The business model relies on three revenue streams: recurring annual membership dues, one-time event registration fees, and corporate sponsorships from a tiered roster of platinum sponsors (Photonix, Siemens Healthineers, VIDT, Servier, AstraZeneca), a gold sponsor (LINAC), and a silver sponsor (INVAP), supplemented by 12 radiation therapy center patrons. Strategic alliances include an exclusive license with ASTRO for Best of ASTRO events, affiliation with the Latin American Association of Radiation Oncology (ALATRO), and a 25-year recertification partnership with CRAMA/AMA. The organization operates with a lean staff of approximately 5 employees, with substantial operational work performed by volunteer physician committee members.
