TY - JOUR AU - van Rhoon, Gerard Cornelis AU - van Holthe, Jeannette Maria Leonora PY - 2018 TI - Radiotherapy plus hyperthermia shows effectiveness in painful bony metastases—indicated only for selected patients with extended live expectancy and radiotherapy resistant tumor! JF - Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology; Vol 2 (September 2018): Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - Solid tumors are known to frequently metastasize to the bony structures with incidence varying strongly by tumor type and stage (1). Having bone metastasis is associated with a poor prognosis and a survival expectancy of several months. Bone metastases have a large impact on the quality of life as they cause severe and debilitating effects, like pain, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia, pathologic fractures and neurologic deficits (1-3). Radiotherapy has an important role in the treatment of bone metastases. It is recognized for its low incidence of side effects and considered time efficient.
