RFQ 75N91022Q00065_8.29.2022.pdf

This federal solicitation requests clinical and treatment data from pediatric cancer patients treated with proton or photon therapy. The Radiation Epidemiology Branch of the National Cancer Institute established the US Pediatric Proton and Photon Therapy Cohort, a retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up to evaluate risks and benefits of proton therapy versus photon therapy for children with cancer. The goal is to obtain data on a group of proton-treated pediatric cancer patients and a group of photon-treated pediatric cancer patients to serve as a comparison. Contractors shall retrieve de-identified clinical and treatment data from existing medical records for pediatric cancer patients treated with proton or photon therapy at their institution. Data obtained will be used to evaluate second cancer risks and other adverse effects. The response period for questions has been extended to the amended due date of August 29, 2022 for receipt of quotations.
