Choose
a
Cooperative
Group
below
and
locate
a
clinical
trial
protocol
for
a
specific
disease
site.
This
must
include
a
radiation
therapy
treatment
regimen.
Read
the
protocol
in
its
entirety.
Evaluate
items
as
discussed
in
course
materials
(e.g.,
eligibility,
trial
phases,
randomizations,
etc.)
as
well
as
the
specific
protocol
guidelines
for
radiation
therapy.
Provide
a
PowerPoint
&
Oral
presentation
of
the
protocol
and
the
specific
medical
dosimetry
portion
of
the
protocol.
Provide
specific
details
about
the
treatment
planning
portion
of
the
protocol
that
the
medical
dosimetrist
must
follow
in
preparing
the
patient
treatment
plan.
(Feel
free
to
add
images
for
some
creativity).
Time
limit
is
20
minutes.
I
would
advise
15-18
minutes
total.
Powerpoint
slides
should
be
kept
to
17-25
slides
total.
See
the
following
page
for
specific
components
of
the
presentation.
This
is
the
module
four
discussion
but
also
the
major
project
for
this
course.
So,
please
consider
this
when
completing
this
assignment.
Points
for
this
module
are
representative
of
the

Grading
will
evaluate
content,
creativity,
and
presentation
abilities
(as
well
as
discussion
with
peers
in
the
forum).
See
grading
rubric
for
this
specific
activity.
Please
try
to
avoid
using
the
same
cooperative
group
as
another
student.
Use
the
student
caf
forum
to
discuss
which
group
you
are
using
for
this
assignment.
In
addition,
if
you
are
already
very
familiar
with
RTOG
protocols,
look
at
a
different
group
so
you
can
learn
something
new.
