Radiotherapy quality assurance in the PROTECT trial – a European randomised phase III-trial comparing proton and photon therapy in the treatment of patients with oesophageal cancer
A comprehensive RTQA programme was implemented for the PROTECT phase III trial. All centres adhered to guidelines for pre-trial QA. For on-trial QA, major variations were primarily seen for target delineations (< 30%), and no treatment plans required re-optimisation.
