Experience of patients with advanced cancer undergoing palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases: A qualitative study
These findings highlight the need for a holistic approach to palliative radiotherapy, in which healthcare professionals not only provide treatment but also address psychological distress and support patients' coping mechanisms. Nurses play a central role in integrating person-centred care into palliative radiotherapy, working collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams to enhance the treatment experience for patients.
