Multicenter Study
An evaluation of half-body irradiation in the treatment of widespread, painful metastatic bone disease.
Evaluation of analgesic uptake, pain intensity, and quality-of-life changes after half-body irradiation of patients with bone metastases. ⋯ Half-body irradiation of cancer patients suffering from painful multiple bone dissemination is an effective and simple treatment modality that affords significant quality-of-life improvement and pain relief, thus allowing for a reduction in the use of strong analgesics.
