Abstract

The paper presents the results of multimodality treatment comprising drug, radiation, and photodynamic therapies for solitary metastasis to the lung, bones, and liver in 10, 4, and 1 patients, respectively; these have rather convincingly shown that it is highly expedient to incorporate, if indicated, different methods of local radiation exposure into a palliative treatment regimen. Varying resorption of metastases in response to radiation exposure was noted in the majority of patients, moreover, the remission remained for a rather long time; and metastatic masses completely disappeared in individual patients. Radiotherapy is effective in the treatment algorithm for this group of patients and increases survival and quality of life.
