Which radiotherapy plan best eases bone metastasis symptoms?

NCT ID NCT03694015

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compared two ways of giving palliative radiotherapy to people with cancer that has spread to the bones. The goal was to see which method better controls nausea and vomiting caused by radiation, while also managing pain. About 160 adults with bone metastases took part, receiving either a simple standard plan or a more advanced 3D conformal plan. The study was stopped early, but the results help doctors understand how to improve quality of life during treatment.
