- W2106756498 abstract "Quality assurance (QA) in modern radiation therapy (RT) aims to detect inconsistencies that might adversely affect treatment outcome. A recent survey of 14 community cancer centers demonstrated uniform agreement on the importance of QA rounds, but significant variations in the proportion of curative cases being reviewed, as well as timing of such reviews. Another North American study reported that only 1% of its reviewed plans required modification; the type of tumor and fewer years of experience of the practicing radiation oncologist (RO) were the only variables associated with modifications. The objectives of the current study are to report the process and outcomes of our own breast QA rounds, and identify patient, tumor, or treatment factors that were associated with RT plan modifications. The current practice at our institution is that all curative-intent breast RT plans be presented at weekly QA rounds prior to commencement of RT (or within the first few fractions). Data were prospectively collected from all radical cases from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012; comments regarding the plan were documented in real-time. Descriptive statistics were utilized to determine the proportion of cases requiring no (A), minor (B), or major (C) modifications. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression and Cochran-Armitage trend test were applied to each variable. A total of 2223 breast QA cases were reviewed over this period; 47 cases (2.1%) underwent a minor change (B), and 52 cases (2.3%) required a major modification (C). The most common changes involved volume coverage, seroma contouring, addition of a boost, and the use of bolus. On univariate analysis, plans using more than 2 fields (OR = 2.57, p = 0.0011), triple negative disease (OR = 2.49, p = 0.017), axillary node dissection (OR = 1.76, p = 0.045), and tumor size more than 2 cm (OR = 2.01, p = 0.025) were significantly associated with category C. After multivariate analysis, only the number of fields (OR = 2.09, p = 0.017), and triple negative disease (OR = 2.34, p = 0.027) remained significant. No relationship was observed between experience of RO and plan modifications (B and C). An important observation related to patient cases that were node negative, margin negative, and 2 fields with no boost (n = 561), wherein modifications were required in only 0.89% of instances. It is feasible to conduct weekly QA review for all radically treated breast cancer cases prior to commencing RT in a busy cancer center. Radiation technique using more than 2 fields and triple negative disease predicted for a higher likelihood of plan modifications. Conversely, less than 1% of node-negative cases with negative surgical margins treated with a 2-field technique and no boost required adjustments. Predicting the probability of a radical breast RT plan requiring modifications will direct future re-structuring of QA rounds." @default.
