Outcomes and level of evidence in radiation therapy research and different categories of radiotherapy innovations: an ESTRO-VBRO bibliometrics analysis of the literature
This analysis demonstrates the differences in radiotherapy research output for various categories of radiotherapy interventions. This supports the development of a tailored appraisal strategy for each category, based on the required level of evidence and meaningful endpoints to support reimbursement and clinical implementation.
