| Abstract: | Radiotherapy is often used for the palliative treatment of advanced cancer. Although each cancer is unique in its histology and natural history, there are several scenarios that repeatedly challenge physicians. Specifically, skeletal metastases, spinal cord compression, brain metastasis, bronchial obstruction, and vena cava obstruction are regularly encountered. This review will discuss the diagnosis and treatment of these common important situations. |
