Abstract

Radiotherapy is effective in relieving pain caused by metastatic bone cancer. Because radiotherapy serves as a palliative measure, pain relief lasts no more than several months. We experienced two cases of hepatocellular carcinoma with bone metastasis that responded to concurrent TS-1/low dose cisplatin (CDDP) therapy and radiotherapy. Highly favorable effect was obtained with minimum adverse events in both cases. Therefore this therapy may be applicable for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with bone metastasis.
