This study requires credentialing before patients can be entered onto this study. The credentialing requirements are different depending on whether you are using a 3DCRT or IMRT technique. You can be credentialed for either technique or for both depending on your physician's treatment preference.

In order to complete the 3D credentialing process, 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 TRIAD.

 

In order to complete 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 TRIAD.

• 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 0622 but does not necessarily satisfy the IMRT phantom irradiation requirements for other protocols.

•  Institutions that are credentialed to participate in other RTOG IMRT protocols need to fill in the credentialing status inquiry form to verify their ability to enter patients onto this protocol.
