Abstract

Little is known about the prevalence of pediatric radiation oncologists treating patients off study according to Children's Oncology Group (COG) trials before data are available regarding toxicity and efficacy of novel radiotherapy regimens. We conducted a 12-question survey of 358 pediatric radiation oncologists to characterize practice patterns regarding ongoing and completed COG protocols off study. With 130 responses (40.3%), the prevalence of providing treatment per protocol, but off study, before data are available in abstract or peer-reviewed form varied from 9.1% (for ACNS1422) to 88.1% (for AHOD1331). Future studies are needed to understand the effects of these practice patterns on outcomes.
