Core Tip

Core Tip: This is a retrospective study to investigate the role of palliative radiotherapy in older patients and patients who were expected to demonstrate a great therapeutic effect. The prognosis in palliative care study predictor, palliative prognostic index, and delirium-palliative prognostic score models were used for prognosis prediction. Most of patients showed subjective symptom improvements following treatment. The prognosis prediction model showed good correlation with survival. In order to increase the therapeutic effectiveness in palliative radiotherapy, it is necessary to assess a patient's exact prognosis and select appropriate patients accordingly.
