NRG Oncology Protocol Development Template for Radiation Therapy — Gynecological Cancer: Cervix, Uterine Cervix

DoseLab summary
The template NRG Oncology gives investigators for writing the radiation therapy section of a cervical cancer trial, covering external beam (photon, MR-linac and proton) and brachytherapy. It describes supine or prone setup, full- and empty-bladder simulation scans fused to build an internal target volume, diagnostic MRI and PET/CT fusion, standard structure names (including Spc_Bowel and BoneMarrow), example prescriptions, HDR point A and volume-directed (CTV_HR) brachytherapy, and per-protocol and variation-acceptable compliance criteria for both the external beam plan and the combined EBRT + brachytherapy dose. Its values are examples meant to be edited for each trial. DoseLab's cervix tables quote its per-protocol levels.
Why this is useful
A complete US-style radiation section for cervical cancer: simulation, fusion, structure names, EBRT organ goals and combined EBRT + brachytherapy limits in EQD2.
