Beginning in 2010, the ABR has administered triennial clinical practice analysis surveys to inform examination development volunteers and staff about the actual state of radiation oncology practice.
As reported here, the 2016 survey was designed to provide objective data regarding actual patient volumes of specific disease sites and subjective insight as to the importance and relevance of site-specific therapy to individual practices.
The survey instrument was circulated to 4,075 radiation oncologists listed in the membership database of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, and responses were received from 690 (16.9%); a total of 287 (41.5%) self-identified as being in academic practice. Even in the academic setting, a majority (216 of 287, or 75.3%) indicated that they spend most of their time in clinical practice.
Data from the survey are informative regarding changes in the practice of radiation oncology over the past 6 years.
自 2010 年起，ABR 每三年进行一次临床实践分析调查，以便向考试开发志愿者和工作人员通报关于放射肿瘤实践的实际状况。
如这里所报告的，2016 年的调查旨在提供关于特定疾病部位的实际患者量的客观数据，并对特定治疗对个别实践的重要性和相关性有主观的了解。
调查工具分发给了美国放射肿瘤学会会员数据库中列出的 4075 名放射肿瘤学家，收到了 690 名（16.9%）的回复；共有 287 名（41.5%）自认为从事学术实践。即使在学术环境中，大多数（287 名中的 216 名，或 75.3%）表示他们大部分时间都在从事临床实践。
调查数据提供了过去 6 年来放射肿瘤学实践变化的信息。
