Abstract

AbstractThe hemostatic effect of palliative radiation therapy (RT) for unresectable gastric cancer is unclear. We performed palliative RT (20 Gy in 5 fractions or 30 Gy in 10 fractions) in 7 consecutive patients with bleeding. The number of blood transfusions decreased significantly post‐RT, supporting the hemostatic effect of palliative RT.
