Dummy run study for outlining and plan quality of intensity-modulated radiotherapy in elderly patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma: The Japan clinical oncology group study JCOG1910 (AgedGlio-PIII)

Background

A dummy run was conducted to ensure the quality of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for elderly patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma in a study by the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG1910).

Methods

41 institutions participated in this study, each required to report their treatment plans for a benchmark case. They outlined the necessary volumes for tumor treatment and created plans using two different radiation doses. The outlining quality and dose criteria were evaluated for each institution.

Results

Six institutions needed to revise their plans due to poor tumor outlining and incorrect treatment volume adjustments. Most institutions met the dose-volume criteria, with only one failing to do so.

Conclusions

Many institutions showed deviations in their outlining, which requires corrective feedback. Continuous communication and information sharing is critical for the success of the upcoming JCOG1910 study.

Opportunities Based on Trial Data

To improve treatment quality for patients:

  • Define Measurable Outcomes: Set clear goals for outlining and treatment plans to enhance patient care in clinics.
  • Select AI Tools: Choose AI solutions tailored to specific clinical needs to support treatment planning.
  • Implement Step by Step: Start with a pilot project using AI, track results, and assess the real-world impact of the findings from the study.
