BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Skeletal metastase is one of the most common complications related to advanced cancer. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness and safety of radiotherapy plus intravenous bisphosphonates versus radiotherapy alone for treating bone metastasis. METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, CBM, CNKI and VIP, as well as the reference lists of reports and reviews. The quality of included trials was evaluated by the Cochrane Handbook. Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently. The Cochrane Collaboration's Rev-Man 5.0 was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Twenty-two trials involving 1 585 patients were included. Compared with radiotherapy alone, radiotherapy plus intravenous bisphosphonates was more effective in total effective rate of pain relive (RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.13-1.30, P < 0.001), average abated time (WMD = 16.00, 95% CI: 10.12-21.88, P < 0.001), and quality of life (RR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.08-1.45, P = 0.003, with significant differences. Side effects have no significant differences between the two groups except fever (RR = 5.61, 95% CI: 3.11-10.13, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Current evidence supports more effective of radiotherapy plus intravenous bisphosphonates for bone metastases. The combine treatment is safe and effective.

平均缓解时间
2项研究报告了平均缓解时间[,研究间有统计学异质性(P=0.04, I2=77%),采用随机效应模型进行分析,结果显示放疗联合双膦酸盐可以明显延长疼痛平均缓解时间(WMD=16.00, 95%CI: 10.12-21.88, P < 0.001)(图 3)。

病灶控制率
8项研究[报告了病灶控制率,各研究间无统计学异质性(P=0.47, I2=0%),采用固定效应模型进行分析,结果显示联合使用双膦酸盐组的病灶控制率高于单纯放疗组(RR=1.69, 95%CI: 1.43-1.99, P < lt; 0.001)(图 4)。
