Excerpt

Palliative radiotherapy has been reported to be effective for hemostasis [1‐3]; however, there is no consensus on the dosage and number of fractions. Lee et al. reported in a retrospective study that a dose higher than the biological effective dose (BED) of 36 Gy was effective for hemostasis of bleeding gastric cancer [1]. Hemostatic radiotherapy is useful for primary gastric cancer. Moreover, we believed that radiotherapy for an invasion from peritoneum to stomach would be useful. Here, we report the case of a patient who had rectal cancer with liver and gastric metastases that responded to palliative, hemostatic radiotherapy. …
