    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiotherapy
    • Bone Metastasis

    Background:

    • Metastatic osteolytic bone tumors present significant challenges in pain management and disease progression.
    • Effective treatment strategies are crucial for improving the quality of life in patients with advanced cancers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of high-energy Cobalt-60 (Co60) radiotherapy.
    • To assess treatment outcomes in patients with metastatic monostotic osteolytic tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 120 patients treated over twenty years.
    • High-energy Co60 radiotherapy administered to patients with metastatic breast, prostate, and bronchial tumors.
    • Evaluation of subjective (pain relief) and objective (recalcification) treatment responses.

    Main Results:

    • Significant subjective improvement in pain relief was observed in a high percentage of patients.
    • Objective evidence of recalcification in osteolytic areas was noted in a significant proportion of treated patients.
    • The study demonstrates the potential of Co60 radiotherapy in managing metastatic bone disease.

    Conclusions:

    • High-energy Co60 radiotherapy offers a viable treatment option for metastatic osteolytic bone tumors.
    • The treatment provides both symptomatic relief and objective signs of disease control.
    • Long-term data supports the role of Co60 radiotherapy in palliative care for advanced cancer patients.
