    At the American Society for Radiation Oncology's (ASTRO's) 2017 annual meeting in San Diego, CA, attendees were asked, “What is the most important research question that needs to be answered in the next 3 to 5 years?” This request was meant to start a dialogue, promote thoughtful discussion within our professional community, and help inform topics for ASTRO workshops and focus meetings. Nearly 100 people responded while in attendance at the meeting, with questions that ranged from “How can we remove barriers so low- and middle-income countries can have radiation oncology facilities?” to “What is the exact role of radiation in stage IV disease in combination with immunotherapy or targeted agents to combat resistance development?” to “How can personalized care be better integrated into the oncology and radiation oncology clinical space?
