Objective:To investigate factors that may cause radiotherapy errors during radiation treatments using quality management tools. Methods:The Delphi method was used to sort out the factors that cause radiotherapy errors which were then classified by the Kaiser model. Results:In the first round of brainstorming, 33 types of influencing factors were put forward, which were further re-duced to 19 through the Delphi method. The recruited factors were, then, divided into four types by the Kaiser model, radiotherapy-specific factors with the mean weight of 49. 49％, patient-related factors with the mean weight of 42. 27％, therapist-related factors with the mean weight of 35. 64％ and hardware-related factors with the mean weight of 19. 72％. Conclusion:Delphi plus Kaiser may be a promising method for predicting factors that may cause radiotherapy errors, which is worthy of further research.
