  schema:description "Randomised trials and meta-analyses show a single 8 Gy radiotherapy session relieves pain from uncomplicated bone metastases as well as ten sessions, with a higher retreatment rate, yet habit and per-fraction payment keep most patients on the longer course. Making one session the default, with an opt-out justification and payment neutrality, would spare patients trips and free machines."@en ;
