  • Tumor lesions eligible for radiation are:
  • Bone metastases

  • Skin or subcutaneous metastases
  • For patients in strata 1 and 2 only: Thoracic lesions (centrally located lung tumor, lymph nodes in the lung hilus or mediastinum)
  • Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 to 1
  • Key

Exclusion
