Summary

To determine if the experimental approach of early radiation oncology involvement alongside standard oncologic care will result in higher HRQL at 6 months compared to the control arm receiving standard oncologic care alone, based on the global subscale score of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 questionnaire.

Questionnaires

All patients in Arm 2 will be seen and treated by one of three ROs with an interest in participating in this study, who will be trained by the PI to perform these visits reproducibly and with rigor. These will all be "regular" ROs, who like most ROs administer a mix of curative and PRT in their clinical practice; like most cancer centers, there are no ROs who formally subspecialize in PRT at our institution. Notably, patients in Arm 1 (control arm) will always have standard-of-care RO referral available for consideration of PRT if needed for symptom relief. However, patients in Arm 1 will be seen by other ROs without any specific training for this study. Any courses of PRT administered in either arm are at the discretion of the treating RO in terms of the timing, dose, fractionation, and treatment technique.
