The RadOnc Toolbox was created by Malolan Rajagopalan, MD, MBA, who was principal investigator of a grant from the Foundation that aimed to develop a resource to manage acute and late radiation toxicity. The Foundation assumed responsibility for the RadOnc Toolbox and released the first version in 2016. Since then, the Foundation has continued to add resources and enhance the content.
The redesigned RadOnc Toolbox that was first released by the Foundation in 2023 is produced in collaboration with Red Canvas, LLC.
