Talk:Radiation Oncology/RTOG Trials

What would be a good long-term format for this page? After I looked at the prostate RTOG studies, there tends to be a fair amount of papers associated with them. I think I would lean to keeping just the study, and linking the main outcome paper with maybe a pasted conclusion. I have done this as a trial for the prostate studies. Even that may be too long in the long run. And then have all the details on individual pages (to be constructed as we have time.) Tdvorak 15:38, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * My goal for this page was that it should be no more than a numeric listing of trials so it could serve as an index. So, if you're trying to remember just what the heck 85-31 is about, you can look it up here.  Its purpose is not to provide details about the study but just to describe, in a brief one line sentence, the overall schema of the study.  For example:
 * 85-01 - Esophagus - XRT alone vs XRT/Chemo
 * In some cases, I would also provide a PMID link to the results of the study, but would not list details . Those details should be provided in the appropriate chapter, i.e. Esophagus.  Some studies have a larger number of ancillary papers associated with them, but I don't think those papers should be listed in here unless there are just a few.  A good solution would be to do what you did for some of the prostate studies, where each study has its own page listing the schema and all of the publications associated with it.  In those cases, I would just provide a brief description of the study on this page and then link to the study's own page for a listing of all the publications.  &mdash; Brim 21:16, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
