Clinical trials are essential for evaluating advanced technologies and treatment approaches involving radiation therapy to improve outcomes for cancer patients. Clinical trials at cancer centers with designation from the National Cancer Institute must undergo scientific review in additional to Institutional Review Board approval. Given the highly specialized nature and rapidly advancing technologies of radiation therapy, and the small number of radiation oncology investigators at some centers, a lack of radiation oncology expertise among reviewers may present challenges at some cancer centers. This commentary aims to provide an overview of radiation therapy and special considerations for radiation oncology research that will serve as a helpful resource in the scientific review of clinical trials involving cancer patients. |
