OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of polymorphisms in cytokine genes on pain severity and pain treatment with palliative radiotherapy. METHODS: 81 patients were enrolled. Pain severity and dose of analgesics were evaluated prior to radiotherapy and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks following treatment.
