There is a dearth of knowledge on the radiobiology of palliative radiotherapy, but some of the principles relevant to radical radiation treatments can be applied to the palliative situation. Nevertheless with minimal animal or human data available, it would appear that this area can be a fertile one for future study, although many of the difficulties and problems inherent in this type of research must be acknowledged and addressed.
关于姑息性放射治疗的放射生物学知识匮乏，但一些与根治性放射治疗相关的原则可应用于姑息治疗情况。然而，由于可用的动物或人体数据极少，尽管必须承认并解决这类研究中固有的许多困难和问题，但这一领域似乎可能成为未来研究的一个富有成果的领域。
