Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Palliative radiotherapy is an effective treatment for patients with painful bone metastases. Standard workflows often involve long waiting times or multiple visits. Fast palliation completed during a single clinic visit can be achieved by omitting a planning CT scan, and using available diagnostic imaging for treatment planning. The adaptive treatment platforms provides the possibility to adapt positions differences between the diagnostic CT and radiotherapy treatment of the target and organs at risk. In this study, the investigators will investigate the experiences of patients who have been treated with this fast-adaptive workflow (FAST-METS) using 2 questionnaires.
