WVU researcher-led effort ensures accuracy of data that dictates cancer patient s radiation therapy
Just as helicopter traffic reporters use their bird s eye view to route drivers around roadblocks safely, radiation oncologists treating a variety of cancers can use new guidelines developed by a West Virginia University researcher to reduce mistakes in data transfer and more safely treat their patients.
Ramon Alfredo Siochi the director of medical physics at WVU led a task group to help ensure the accuracy of data that dictates a cancer patient s radiation therapy. The measures he and his colleagues recommended in their new report safeguard against medical errors in a treatment that more than half of all cancer patients receive.
