Abstract

Palliative oncological therapy attempts to maintain survival with a good quality of life in patients who cannot be cured. The aim of the treatment is in most cases the relief of agonizing or restricting symptoms. With metastases in particular, the shortest possible treatment period is desirable. The decision as to the best radiation treatment modality or technique depends on the individual needs and risks in each patient. Evaluation of the treatment results is difficult. It is worthwhile to use very specialized radiation techniques to improve the quality of life, but they should not replace supportive care and attention to the patients' psychological problems.
