Effect of palliative radiation dose on symptom response in metastatic sarcomas.

Purpose: Palliative radiotherapy (RT) plays a crucial role in alleviating symptoms associated with metastatic sarcoma. However, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal palliative radiation dose and fractionation for metastatic sarcomas. We analyzed the association between biologically effective radiation dose and symptom response for patients who underwent palliative RT for metastatic sarcomas.
