One Year Experience of a Radiation Oncology Semi-weekly Head & Neck Contour Peer Review at a Single Institution
Because head and neck radiotherapy is complex, relying solely on a weekly chart review is inadequate for evaluating radiation oncology contours. Implementing a dedicated semi-weekly examination of all head and neck contours prior to radiation treatment planning, allowing for comprehensive assessment of images and treatment targets, may result in improved patient outcomes. Conducting a thorough assessment of all head and neck contours also exposes resident physicians to a greater volume of patient contours for education purposes.
