This protocol requires an institution to be credentialed for either 3D or IMRT or both before patients can be enrolled onto this study.

If you have not already completed the 3D credentialing process for this body site (e.g. RTOG 0126), the following items must be completed:

• All participants are asked to complete and fax/e-mail the Facility Questionnaires to RTOG at 215-940-8817 or rtog-facquest@phila.acr.org. Questions about the questionnaires can be directed to Tammy McGlade at 215-574-3219.

• Submit an actual patient treatment plan digitally to the ATC.

 

If you have not already completed the IMRT credentialing process the following items must be completed:

• Complete and submit the Facility Questionnaires to RTOG.

• Submit an actual patient treatment plan digitally to the ATC.

• Irradiate the IROC Houston's IMRT H&N phantom or pelvic phantom.  Please fill in the request form online.

Note:

Irradiation of the pelvic phantom satisfies part of the credentialing requirements for protocol 0415 but does not necessarily satisfy the IMRT phantom irradiation requirements for other protocols.  Institutions that are credentialed to participate in other RTOG IMRT protocols requiring a phantom irradiation need not repeat the phantom irradiation for credentialing for this protocol.
