Use of a Modified Hemi-body Irradiation Technique for Metastatic Carcinoma of the Prostate: Report of a 10-year Experience

Modifying the field size for single-fraction HBI does not have a significant effect on the final outcome of treatment, namely pain control and a need for additional radiotherapy. In our experience, modified HBI should be considered in patients with multiple bone pain sites, especially if they will probably require several visits for localised radiotherapy to single painful bone sites within a short period of time.
