    Author: Roca EL, Okazaki N, Okada S, Nose H, Aoki K, Akine Y, Egawa S.
    Journal: Jpn J Clin Oncol; 1992 Apr; 22(2):113-6. PubMed ID: 1320139.
    Abstract:
    Radiotherapeutic effects of 42 bone metastases in 26 hepatocellular carcinoma patients were retrospectively analyzed. Pain relief was observed in 79% of 37 bone metastases treated (29/37). Antitumor effects and improvement of paralysis were also observed in 88% (8/9) and 17% (1/6), respectively. The toxicities experienced were tolerable. Radiotherapy was an effective means of palliation in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma bone metastases.
