Single fraction radiotherapy for bone metastases: are all questions answered?
1Department of Radiation Onocology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Parel, Mumbai, India.
Abstract:
All randomized trials show comparable pain relief rates with single or fractionated radiotherapy (RT) in selected patients. Further studies are required to determine the optimal single dose (our analysis suggests 6-8 Gy), its efficacy in preventing fractures/cord compression and defining criteria for recommending fractionated RT for a select few. Besides this, a 'lingua franca' for pain assessment tools is urgently required.
