Wednesday, June 26, 2019 Earlier this year Dr. Yee Ung stepped down from his position as the co-chair of the CCTG Lung Disease Site committee. The group convened a selection committee to choose a radiation oncologist as the new co-chair, over several months the committee solicited applications and interviewed several candidates. The members of the selection committee were: Drs. Penny Bradbury, Matthew Parliament, Andrea Bezjak, Yee Ung, and Joe Pater. On the basis of the selection committee’s recommendations, the CCTG Director, Dr. Janet Dancey, has appointed Dr. Alex Sun a Radiation Oncologist at Princess Margarget Cancer Centre as the CCTG Lung Disease Site Co-Chair. Dr. Sun is a senior radiation oncologist with a substantial track record of clinical research in thoracic radiation oncology. He has held national and international leadership positions is several research, policy and educational organizations, including academic clinical trials groups. In his interview he presented a convincing and inclusive vision for how we can move forward in this important area of thoracic oncology. Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sun to his new position. We look forward to working with him.
