Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The available survival prediction models (such Survival Prediction Score using Number of Risk Factors by Chow et al and TEACHH model) have been developed in the Western world. We therefore perform a prospective observational study 1) to assess the overall survival of patients evaluated for palliative RT at a tertiary hospital in Hong Kong, and 2) to validate the prognostic score systems in our population.
