Pre-radiotherapy pain intensity and health-related quality of life in patients with bone metastases at various vertebral levels
The spine is the most common site of bone metastasis from cancer and can be divided into 5 locational subsections, varying in mobility. The purpose of this research was to determine if the mobility of the metastases-bearing vertebral segment influenced pre-treatment pain intensity or health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) for patients about to receive palliative radiation therapy for painful spine metastasis.
