    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Palliative Care

    Background:

    • Metastatic bone disease is a common complication requiring palliative treatment.
    • Radiation therapy is a key modality for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the principles and multidisciplinary approach for radiation therapy in bone metastases.
    • To differentiate treatment strategies based on disease extent and patient prognosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing megavoltage radiation devices with generous margins.
    • Employing appropriate time-dose fractionation/protraction schedules.
    • Integrating radiation oncology with medical oncology, orthopedic surgery, and physiatry.

    Main Results:
