title: The emerging role of IG-IMRT for palliative radiotherapy: a single-institution experience.
abstract: Many modern radiotherapy centers now have image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IG-IMRT) tools available for clinical use, and the technique offers many options for patients requiring palliative radiotherapy. We describe a single-institution experience with IG-IMRT for short-course palliative radiotherapy, highlighting the unique situations in which the technique can be most effectively used.
