RTOG Pending Case Status Information

Cases with Extended Pending Case Status:                                                                                                                      

When a query is sent out regarding an eligibility issue, the patient's case status is changed to pending.  As with all queries, these should be answered in a timely fashion. Effective immediately if a query regarding eligibility is outstanding for more than 6 months, the patient's case status will be changed to ineligible and a letter stating such will be sent to the institution.  If an answer to the query is subsequently sent in AND the information makes the patient eligible, the case status will be changed back to eligible.  Questions regarding ineligibility letters can be directed to the research associate for the study by calling RTOG Data Management at 215-574-3214.
