TROG Cancer Research held its one-day virtual Concept Development Workshop (CDW)
on Wednesday 31 May 2023

The Sum Up! 

7 ideas were submitted to the 2023 CDW from TROG members of a variety of disciplines (Medical Physics, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Therapy) over a diverse range of subspecialties. Those ideas that corresponded to a TROG subspecialty Working Party and received preliminary feedback prior to the CDW.

The CDW program was a mix of presentations on steps to develop a trial concept and trials design by Biostatisticians, Chris Brown and Kristy Robledo, and smaller group discussions, where each idea was workshopped in a multidisciplinary and collaborative manner, receiving input and guidance from experienced TROG trialists, their mentors and representatives from the national technical services for Quality of Life (CQUEST) and health economics (CREST).

Thank you to the participants, mentors, faculty, and convenors for their time and guidance in putting on TROG’s best Concept Development Workshop yet! 

Need some inspiration for your own research idea? TROG has collated a list of gaps and/or potential trial ideas identified by the TROG membership and other
