NRG Oncology Protocol Development Template for Radiation Therapy — Gastrointestinal Cancer: Pancreatic Cancer
Yock A, Parker W · NRG Oncology Medical Physics Subcommittee / Radiation Oncology Committee
DoseLab summary
The template NRG Oncology gives investigators for the radiation therapy section of a pancreatic cancer trial. It asks patients not to eat or drink for at least two hours before simulation and treatment and then drink a consistent volume, allows breath hold or fiducial-based gating or tracking, and recommends rigid registration of MRI and PET with the planning CT.
Why this is useful
NRG's model radiation section for a pancreas trial — fasting and oral contrast at simulation, allowed motion-management techniques and image fusion.
