This protocol requires each institution to submit electronic patient data to GOG using TRIAD. For instructions on TRIAD, click here. Please note, with CTSU integration with TRIAD, IRB approval is required in order to submit credentialing data.

IMRT is required for this protocol. In order to complete the credentialing process the following items must be completed:

• Each Radiation Oncologist must complete and submit online a Knowledge Assessment to the IROC Houston.

• Complete and submit an IROC Facility Questionnaire to IROC Houston.

• Irradiate the IROC Houston's IMRT H&N.¹  Please fill in the phantom request form online. The "IMRT Benchmark" does not satisfy the credentialing requirements for this protocol.

• A CTSU IRB/Regulatory Approval transmittal sheet should be submitted along with the CTSU IRB Certification Form or its equivalent.

For protocol patients:

• Every patient must have a pre-treatment review prior to the start of treatment (See Section 4.31 of the protocol).  Please include the following:

1. Electronically send the treatment plan to the TRIAD.
2. Email (IROCHouston@mdanderson.org) or fax (713-794-1364) a copy of the pathology report stating nodal involvement.
3. Email (IROCHouston@mdanderson.org) or fax (713-794-1364) an electronic photograph of where the tumor is located.

Note:

¹ If your institution previously completed a pelvic phantom irradiation, that irradiation may satisfy the credentialing requirements for this protocol. Institutions that are credentialed to participate in other IMRT protocols requiring a phantom irradiation need not repeat the phantom irradiation for credentialing for this protocol. Institutions that are credentialed to participate in other IMRT protocols should fill in the Credentialing Status Inquiry Form.
