Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Radiotherapy peer review ensures plan quality, with 9% of plans requiring changes before treatment. Post-planning review is crucial for detecting all necessary modifications, especially for complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Quality Assurance

Background:

  • Canadian guidelines recommend pre-treatment peer review for radiotherapy plans.
  • Radiotherapy peer review is a critical quality assurance (QA) process.
  • Timely peer review optimizes patient safety and treatment efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document and evaluate outcomes of disease site-specific radiotherapy peer review rounds.
  • To assess the optimal timing and documentation of peer review in radiotherapy planning.
  • To inform recommendations for improving radiotherapy QA processes.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective recording of outcomes for breast, head and neck, and lung cancer radiotherapy plans.
  • Classification of plan outcomes: A (no change), B (satisfactory with considerations), C (change required).
  • Review stages included post-contouring and post-planning assessments.

Main Results:

  • 83% of 209 reviewed plans were assessed before the first treatment fraction.
  • Overall outcome rates: 78% A, 9% B1, 4% B2, 9% C.
  • Target volume definition was the most common reason for plan changes (B or C outcomes).

Conclusions:

  • Post-planning review is essential for detecting all necessary radiotherapy plan changes.
  • For head and neck cases, pre-contouring review may suffice for detecting critical changes.
  • Widespread implementation of radiotherapy peer review is recommended.
