Abstract
Palliative RT was performed in approximately 10% of patients who died of cancer near their end of life, with the most commonly used regimen of 30 Gy in 10 fractions. This study suggests that greater use of shorter or single fraction regimens may be beneficial, especially in patients with poor performance status.
