Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Randomized clinical trial with two palliative radiotherapy regimens in painful bone metastases: 30 Gy in 10 fractions compared with 8 Gy in single fraction.
The aim was to demonstrate similar pain relief with two schedules of radiotherapy for painful bone metastases. ⋯ A single-fraction regimen of 8 Gy was as safe and effective as a multifraction regimen of 30 Gy for painful bone metastases in terms of pain relief.
