The aims of the Prospective Registration of Morbidity and Mortality, Individual Radiosensitivity and Radiation Technique (PROUST) survey were to make an inventory of existing MMR procedures and to describe their procedures.

Methods And Materials: The link to the web-based questionnaire of the PROUST survey was sent to 351 radiation oncologists working at 172 centers.
