Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In a prospective interventional study, we confirmed that palliative radiotherapy using diagnostic-CT images instead of radiotherapy-planning-CT images (Simulation-free Radiation Therapy; SFRT) can be safely performed, and can greatly shorten the time to start radiotherapy. However, since this method has not yet been widely adopted in clinical practice, we aim to prospectively evaluate the number of patients treated by this method in actual clinical practice, as well as the outcomes and safety of this treatment.

Other related information

Time in centre (TIC), i.e. time spent in the radiotherapy department (from the start of the consultation to the end of the first radiotherapy beam), is measured at the first irradiation.
Follow-up is conducted at 4, 12 and 24 weeks and the rate of adverse event occurrence is assessed according to CTCAE ver. 5.0. In patients treated with palliative radiotherapy for cancer pain, the pain response rate and pain complete response rate will be assessed based on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and International Consensus Pain Response Endpoints (ICPRE). After 24 weeks, follow-up every 3-6 months is recommended. However, given that most patients in this study will have distant metastases, follow-up visits may be a significant burden for patients, so the need for follow-up and intervals will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Other information to be collected at enrolment includes gender, age, general condition (ECOG Performance Status), pathological or clinical diagnosis and clinical stage.
