Palliative radiation therapy is an effective option for relieving body aches associated with cancer. Ad Dr. Adam Holtzman, a Mayo Clinic radiation oncologist, explains how innovation is impr...
Treating high-risk, asymptomatic bone metastases with radiation may reduce painful complications and hospitalizations and possibly extend overall survival in people whose cancer has spread to multiple sites, a phase II clinical trial suggests. Results of the multicenter, randomized trial (NCT03523351) wil...

Here we evaluated the usefulness of RT combined with BMA compared with BMA alone for bone metastasis treatment. Materials/Methods In this clinical study, osteolytic bone metastases of the spine or pelvic bone in patients with breast cancer were evaluated. Tomographic imaging was used to evaluate ...

Dr Edward Yang from Parkway Cancer Centre looks at how palliative radiation treatment can help patients manage symptoms of cancer & give them a better quality of life.
Complex high-precision radiotherapy, such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), should only be offered to patients with sufficiently long survival. In the context of bone metastases radiotherapy, low rates of treatment close to the end of life, e.g.

beam of radiation mainly targets tumors and not the healthy tissues surrounding them. If a patient moves during treatment, it can mean the radiation beam is partly or even entirely missing thecancertarget. This scenario both underdoses the cancer and increases the risk of harming healthy tissue....
