Curative therapy of localized bone lesions has been enhanced by the advent of intensity modulated radiotherapy and conformal stereotactic radiation therapy techniques that deliver radiocontrolling doses to small volumes and minimize normal tissue damage. New techniques for total body irradiation and the ...
The study arose from the observation that many patients hospitalized for painful bone metastases have evidence of these lesions on imaging scans several months earlier, Dr. Gillespie said. Although external beam radiation therapy is standard-of-care for painful lesions, it has not been used for asy...
Bone-modifying agents (BMAs) are reportedly associated with a decrease in skeletal-related events (SREs), which include pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression, bone surgery, radiation therapy (RT) for bones, and hypercalcemia. Therefore, BMAs are frequently used for treating patients with bone...
Recommendations for stereotactic body radiation therapy for spine and non-spine bone metastases. A GETUG (French society of urological radiation oncolgists) consensus using a national two-round modified Delphi survey. Clin Transl Radiat Oncol. 2022;37:33–40. Madani I, Sahgal A, Erler D, Stish...
We therefore performed a retrospective preliminary analysis of breast cancer patients treated at our Center with palliative radiation therapy to bone lesions and concurrent CDK4/6 inhibitors to assess the possible pitfalls of this combination. Methods and materials Study population We retrospectively reviewe...

Presence and number of focal lesions as well as value of M-Protein were of independent prognostic significance for progression into a symptomatic disease requiring systemic treatment (P = 0.02; P<0.0001 and P = 0.0005, respectively). Lower homogeneous signal intensities in T1-weighted images were ...

There are two types of radiation based MDT applied when treating oligometastatic disease: (1) stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) generally used for bone metastases; or (2) SBRT for isolated nodal oligometastases combined with prophylactic elective nodal radiotherapy. This review aims to ...
