Abstract

The Children's Oncology Group (COG) is a multi‐institutional cooperative group dedicated to childhood cancer research that has helped to increase the survival of children with cancer through clinical trials. These clinical trials include a standardized regimen of imaging examinations performed prior to, during, and following therapy. This article presents imaging guidelines developed by a multidisciplinary group from the COG Bone Tumor Committee. These guidelines provide both required and recommended studies. Recommended examinations may become required in the future. These guidelines should be considered a work in progress that will evolve with advances in imaging and childhood cancer research.

  • The 2008 Children's Oncology Group guidelines, still widely accepted, advocate PET imaging with whole-body CT or MRI, and isotope bone scans if those modalities are unavailable.

    “In 2008, guidelines from the Children's Oncology Group were published 107 , and are still widely accepted, advocating PET imaging with accompanying whole-body CT or whole-body MRI, with isotope bone scans if these modalities are not available.”

  • The recommended staging work-up reveals lung metastases in 15-20% of patients and occasionally identifies tumours in other bones or, rarely, other sites.

    “This work-up recommendation reveals lung metastases in 15-20% of patients, and occasionally identifies tumours within other bones or, very rarely, lesions at other sites.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
