目的为治疗方案比较的结果报告确定最具信息性的方法。方法回顾国际放射肿瘤学生物学物理杂志去年发表的7篇文章，比较IMRT和IMAT的治疗方案。对文章进行了回顾，以确定比较的方法。决策理论的概念被用来评估研究方法，并突出那些提供最多的信息。结果没有一项研究考察了目标之间的相关性。统计比较提供了一些信息，但不足以为可靠的决策分析提供支持。结论越来越多地使用治疗计划研究来评估不同的放射治疗方法，需要改进设计研究和报告结果的标准。
PurposeTo identify the most informative methods for reporting results of treatment planning comparisons.MethodsSeven articles from the past year ofInternational Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physicsreported on comparisons of treatment plans for IMRT and IMAT. The articles were reviewed to identify methods of comparisons. Decision theoretical concepts were used to evaluate the study methods and highlight those that provide the most information.ResultsNone of the studies examined the correlation between objectives. Statistical comparisons provided some information but not enough to provide support for a robust decision analysis.ConclusionsThe increased use of treatment planning studies to evaluate different methods in radiation therapy requires improved standards for designing the studies and reporting the results.
