Related Articles Outcomes After Hypofractionated Dose-Escalation using a Simultaneous Integrated Boost Technique for Treatment of Spine Metastases Not Amenable to Stereotactic Radiosurgery. Pract Radiat Oncol. 2019 Mar;9(2):e142-e148 Authors: Farooqi A, Bishop AJ, Narang S, Allen PK, Li J, McAleer MF, Tatsui CE, Rhines LD, Amini B, Wang XA, Ghia AJ Abstract PURPOSE: Spine stereotactic radiosurgery delivers an ablative dose of radiation therapy (RT) with high conformity relative to standard fractionated RT. This technique is suboptimal for extended targets (>3 vertebral levels) owing to treatment alignment concerns or for patients with marked epidural extension. In these patients, we hypothesized that use…

Related Articles Pain Response Rates After Conventional Radiation Therapy for Bone Metastases in Prospective Nonrandomized Studies: A Systematic Review. Pract Radiat Oncol. 2019 Mar;9(2):81-88 Authors: Saito T, Toya R, Oya N Abstract PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the pain response rates after conventional radiation therapy (RT) for painful bone metastases in prospective nonrandomized studies, which better reflect daily practice than randomized controlled trials. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus for articles published between 2002 and 2018. We only included articles in which pain response after RT was assessed using the International Consensus Endpoint…

Related Articles Outcomes and Characteristics of Patients Treated with Emergent Palliative Radiation Therapy. Pract Radiat Oncol. 2019 Mar;9(2):e203-e209 Authors: Grade M, Koenig J, Qian Y, Sandhu N, Liu Y, Turner B, von Eyben R, Knox S, Dudley S Abstract PURPOSE: Emergent palliative radiation therapy (PRT) of symptomatic metastases can significantly increase the quality of life of patients with cancer. In some contexts, this treatment may be underused, but in others PRT may represent an excessively aggressive intervention. The characterization of the current use of emergent PRT is warranted for optimized value and patient-centered care. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This study is…
