Show abstract
Discontinuation of radiotherapy is rarely discussed in the literature. In this retrospective study of 468 consecutive patients receiving palliative radiotherapy for brain metastases, we identified 35 discontinued treatments, mainly due to clinical deterioration. Poor performance status, more advanced disease and, in turn, poor prognosis was associated with higher discontinuation rates.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
