Valeria Faccenda, Medical Physicist at IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori Foundation, recently shared a post by Sofia Paola Bianchi, a Radiation Oncologist at IRCCS Foundation National Cancer Institute of Milan, on X/Twitter, adding:

“In our prospective cohort study, palliative RT ensured short-term pain control, regardless of tumor type and dose fractionation regimen, in patients with BM.

Check details here.”

Quoting Sofia Paola Bianchi’s post:

“Finally the results of our experience in managing uncomplicated painful bone metastases (BM) patients.

Pain response (CR+PR):
– 62% at 1 month
– 60% at 3 months.
A multidisciplinary approach is paramount to provide better care to BM patients.”
