Case Volume and Experience in Stereotactic Radiation: Analysis of a Prospective Peer Review Program.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) is highly effective but carries the risk of significant toxicity. We identified factors associated with SRT plans that require revision in a comprehensive, prospective peer review program conducted across a network of affiliated radiation oncology centers.

Methods and materials

Weekly peer review rounds were conducted to review SRT cases prior to the start of radiation. Revision recommendations were tracked. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with case revision.

Results

From 2019 to 2024, 1172 SRT cases were reviewed at weekly rounds, including 313 brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), 190 brain multi-fractionated SRS, and 669 stereotactic body radiation therapy. T
