Advanced Techniques for Single-fraction Palliative Radiotherapy Versus ASPIRE-single
Sponsor: Royal North Shore Hospital
Summary
One third of patients treated in the radiation oncology departments are treated with palliative intent. These patients can be unwell due to their advanced disease and suffering from pain and other symptoms related to metastases. Radiation therapy (RT) has an important role in the symptomatic relief and improvement in the quality of life (QoL) for these patients.The aim of the study is to determine if escalated single fraction palliative radiotherapy using intensity-modulated techniques results in a prolonged duration of benefit for patients otherwise suitable for standard single fraction radiotherapy.
