Should doctors consider male marital status when planning palliative treatment for bone metastasis?

hereas married and single women and married males who received 8 Gy were more likely to seek re-treatment sooner.

"The lower re-treatment rates observed in single men receiving 8 Gy may be because men without partners don't have the same social support as men with partners and therefore may not seek out additional treatment for their pain," Konski noted. "Clinicians may need to be sensitive to the greater likelihood of negative outcomes in single male patients. Focused strategies, though, will depend on better specification of what aspects of being single are most disadvantageous to men with cancer."
