About TROG Quality Assurance

What is the Role of the TROG QA Team?

The TROG Cancer Research QA team actively supports clinical trial activities through:

  • Developing robust radiation therapy planning, delivery, imaging and quality assurance guidelines

  • Ensuring guidelines incorporate new techniques and technology

  • Monitoring and providing feedback on radiation therapy and imaging protocol compliance, as well as radiation therapy plan quality

  • Collaborating widely to ensure TROG Cancer Research maintains high standards and responds to changing national and international guidelines.

  • Collecting and analysing other imaging modalities that play a vital role in trial end points. These images are made available via MIM or ProKnow for trial team review.

How is a QA Program Developed?

The TROG QA team works with each trial chair, physicist, radiation therapist and the Trial Management Committee (TMC) to formulate the clinical trial QA program.

TROG Cancer Research employs a risk-based approach when developing a trial radiation therapy and imaging QA program to identify risks that could affect the trial outcome. These risks are analysed in terms of the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of impact on the trial question.

There are several radiation therapy and imaging QA interventions that may be recommended for a particular study, including pre-trial credentialing, benchmarking, dosimetric auditing requirements, imaging collection and on-trial case reviews
