Prospective randomised trial of single and multifraction radiotherapy schedules in the treatment of painful bony metastases

Does kV Image Guidance for Bone Metastases Improve Pain Control?

“…We report that RT remains a highly effective means of palliation for pain resulting from osseous metastases, with 93% of patients reporting pain reduction and 53% reporting complete pain relief. This is consistent with reports in the literature of complete pain relief ranging from 15 to 54% and partial pain relief ranging from 28 to 89% (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20).…”

Barriers to Utilization of Antenatal Care Interventions among Pregnant Women Attending Primary Health Care Centres in Kano, Nigeria

“…This had been supported by numerous trials that examined the similar effect of PRT for complete or partial pain relief in bony metastases from different primary diseases. [11][12][13][14][15] Adenipekun et al also supported our findings by reviewing the response rates of 92 patients to the analgesic effect of radiotherapy for bony metastasis. The results showed a total response of about 90% (67% complete response and 23% partial response) within 4 weeks of treatment.…”

Elderly Patients With Painful Bone Metastases Should be Offered Palliative Radiotherapy

“…The attrition rate was 48% at 1 month, 58% at 2 months, and 65% at 3 months after RT. These attrition rates were not surprising, given the nature of the study population and are consistent with those reported in other palliative bone RT trials (55)(56)(57). Additionally, only large differences could be observed in the subgroup analyses, because several subgroups contained <150 patients.…”
