NRG Oncology Protocol Development Template for Radiation Therapy — Brain: Photon and Proton Therapy
Cui Y, Teo BK, Xiao Y, Yin FF, et al. · NRG Oncology Medical Physics Subcommittee / Radiation Oncology Committee
DoseLab summary
The NRG Oncology template for the radiation section of a brain tumor trial. It strongly encourages MRI for target delineation (contrast T1, T2/FLAIR and a 3D gradient-echo sequence), recommends fusing FDG-PET/CT when available, and asks that the fusion be done by a medical physicist or a dosimetrist under physicist supervision and reviewed by the attending physician.
Why this is useful
How an NRG trial would write the radiation section for brain tumors — CT simulation, MRI sequences and who performs and reviews the fusion.
