Mission
The QARC mission is to improve the standard of care in the management of cancer by ensuring quality. Providing radiotherapy quality assurance is essential for ensuring the validity of data across multi-disciplinary cooperative group trials. QARC employs a methodology that is responsive and supportive of the National Cancer Clinical Trials Enterprise. As radiotherapy evolves in the area of image-based, target volume definitions, and as digital information continues to supplant hard-copy formats for both diagnostic imaging and RT data, QARC continually strives to support these developments. And with today's advanced technologies in the areas of motion management and other real-time delivery modifications, meeting the growing demand for quality assurance in the ever-expanding field of cancer treatment is a top priority for QARC.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
