30-day mortality in patients treated for brain metastases: extracranial causes dominate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Established prognostic models, such as the diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment, were not designed to specifically address very short survival. Therefore, a brain metastases-specific 30-day mortality ... -
Early death after palliative radiation treatment: 30-, 35- and 40-day mortality data and statistically robust predictors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background This study analyzed mortality after radiotherapy for bone metastases (287 courses). Endpoints such as treatment in the last month of life and death within 30, 35 and 40 days from start of radiotherapy were ... -
Shortened Palliative Radiotherapy Results in a Lower Rate of Treatment During the Last Month of Life
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction Palliative radiotherapy (PRT) during the last month of life (PRT30) should be avoided because relevant clinical benefits are unlikely to occur. While traditional short-course fractionation regimens are suitable ... -
Stereotactic radiotherapy for patients with bone metastases: a selected group with low rate of radiation treatment during the last month of life?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background Complex high-precision radiotherapy, such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), should only be offered to patients with sufficiently long survival. In the context of bone metastases radiotherapy, low rates ...
