POSSIBILITIES OF SYSTEMIC RADIONUCLIDE THERAPY IN PALLIATIVE TREATMENT OF P ATIENTS WITH METASTATIC BONES DISEASE

The pain syndrome accompanying metastatic damage of bones, significantly reduces quality of patients life. In recent decades, medical practice implemented methods systemic radionuclide therapy of bone metastases using different radionuclides, which allows to stop both the pain and the progression of the disease.
