Elizabeth A Barnes1, Matthew Parliament, John Hanson, Sharon Watanabe, J Lynn Palmer, Eduardo Bruera.   

Abstract

Three hundred Canadian primary care physicians were surveyed to determine their perceived barriers to the accessibility of palliative bone radiotherapy and their perceptions regarding treatment efficacy. The response rate was 61%. Factors perceived to hinder accessibility were identified, and the physicians recognized they were not comfortable with their radiotherapy knowledge.
