Abstract


ABSTRACT
Background: Metastasis are the most common type of malignant tumor which involve bone, according to OSCER (Oncology Services Comprehensive Electronic Record) among 382,733 study patients, breast cancer (36 %), lunge cancer (60%), and colorectal cancer (12%) were the most common, incidence of bone metastasis was 2.9% at 30 days, 4.9% at 1 year, 5.6% at 2 years, 6.9% at 5 years, 8.4 % at 10 years. Incidence varied by tumor type with prostate cancer patients were at highest risk (18%-29%) followed by lunge, renal and breast cancer.
Aim of the Work: This study aim to prove the equivalency and the efficacy of single fraction radiotherapy (800cGY) and multiple fraction radiotherapy (10 fractions, 300 cGY / fraction, 1 fraction / day, 5 days per week over 2 weeks to a total of 3000cGy) in terms of pain relief and prevention of skeletal related events.
