Improving the Quality of Patient Data Capture in Breast Radiotherapy Peer-Review

The importance of multidisciplinary peer-review rounds is widely recognized. Peer-review rounds ensure the quality and safety of individual radiation therapy (RT) treatment plans. At our institution, breast cancer RT peer-review rounds are conducted weekly over 1-hour session, with attendance from radiation oncology, therapy, physics staff and trainees. All newly diagnosed breast cancer patients undergoing radical RT are scheduled for peer-review approximately 1 week prior to their treatment start date.
