Limited short-term effect of palliative radiation therapy on quantitative computed tomography-derived bone mineral density in femora with metastases
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of single fraction (SF) and multiple fraction (MF) radiation therapy (RT) on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with cancer and bone metastases in the proximal femur. We studied this effect in the radiation field and within metastatic le...
