Abstract

The results of a dummy run involving nine centers participating in a study comparing radiotherapy alone with radiotherapy plus hormone therapy in patients with high metastatic risk prostatic cancer (EORTC protocol 22863) show that, in all centers but one, patients are treated in the same way. However, they have also indicated that protocol compliance could be improved by a better assessment of the target volume, by taking into account of the use of protective shields and of variations in radiological density, by determining beam position on a large number of slices, and by the use of CT scan images for treatment planning.
