An open invitation to join the pediatric proton/photon consortium registry to standardize data collection in pediatric radiation oncology.

CONCLUSIONS: The PPCR is a valuable research platform capable of answering countless research questions that will ultimately improve patient care. Centers outside of the US are invited to participate directly or may engage with the PPCR to align data collection strategies to facilitate larger-scale international research.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: For investigators looking to carry out research in a large pediatric oncology cohort or interested in registry work, this paper provides an updated overview of the PPCR.
