Excerpt

The VA cares for an estimated 175,000 Veterans annually in their cancer treatment program. Radiation treatment for curative or definitive cancer therapy is an important and frequently used option. The Evidence Synthesis Program (ESP) is responding to a request from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Radiation Oncology Quality Task Force for an evidence review on the comparative effectiveness of hypofractionation versus conventional radiation therapy for adults with breast, prostate, lung, rectal, head and neck, bladder, pancreas, melanoma, or non-melanoma skin cancers.
