Comparison of two multifraction radiotherapy schedules in management of painful bone metastases: A single institution prospective study

Conclusion: A shorter treatment schedule (5 fractions) was equally efficacious as the standard schedule (10 fractions) in our setting. With the advantage of shorter overall treatment time and avoidance of re-irradiation, this schedule may be favourable for high volume centres.
