Today, about every second patient with carcinoma is cured, which means on the other hand that half of the patients get a metastasis and/or a recurrence. The symptoms may be manifold. Physician and patient are looking for a palliative treatment. A reliable method is the radiation therapy-especially for brain and bone metastases. It should be applied for a short time. The tumor patient has the right to be particular about the time being available for him. Most of the patients stay rather at home than in the hospital. We undertake the palliative radiotherapy preferably in the ambulant setting. The single dose should be high and the total dose low. Therefore, a few administrations with greater intervals are sufficient. The effect of the palliative radiation therapy extends with increase of the single dose. The side effects are minor. In the following, we will explain the indications of the palliative/symptomatic radiation therapy.
如今，大约每两名癌症患者中就有一人被治愈，这意味着另一方面，有一半的患者会出现转移和/或复发。症状可能多种多样。医生和患者都在寻求姑息治疗。一种可靠的方法是放射治疗——尤其是针对脑转移和骨转移。放射治疗应在短时间内进行。肿瘤患者有权对自己可利用的时间有所要求。大多数患者宁愿待在家里而不是住院。我们最好在门诊环境中进行姑息性放射治疗。单次剂量应高而总剂量应低。因此，间隔较长时间进行几次治疗就足够了。姑息性放射治疗的效果会随着单次剂量的增加而增强。副作用较小。接下来，我们将解释姑息性/对症放射治疗的适应症。
