Current practices in peer review in German radiation oncology: a nationwide survey

While PR seems to be an integral part of radiation therapy in Germany, its structure and implementation throughout centers need to be elucidated. While some aspects, such as pre-therapeutic PR, are well established in our cohort, gaps remain in the integration of multidisciplinary teams, structured documentation, and contouring reviews. Further discussions within the German RO community and the development of national recommendations could help to standardize PR processes and improve their efficiency and effectiveness.

Abstract

While PR seems to be an integral part of radiation therapy in Germany, its structure and implementation throughout centers need to be elucidated. While some aspects, such as pre-therapeutic PR, are well established in our cohort, gaps remain in the integration of multidisciplinary teams, structured documentation, and contouring reviews. Further discussions within the German RO community and the development of national recommendations could help to standardize PR processes and improve their efficiency and effectiveness.
