The MAMETIC Trial represents the first regional epidemiological study that aims to evaluate patients living in Campania with metastatic cancer, with the intent to detect different prevalence of tumors in the metastatic phase and evaluate the local response to the patient's request for assistance. Condition or disease: Metastatic disease Intervention/treatment: Radiation Treatment
The MAMETIC Trial is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective observational study and 17 of 20 RT Centers in Campania joined it. 1. The retrospective part of the study concerns all patients enrolled with a diagnosis of metastatic disease and treated in RT centers of the Campania Region with 3DCRT, IMRT, VMAT, SBRT techniques from January 2019 to August 2020. In 2019, it has been enrolled 12.500 patients in the 17 RT Centers and it is estimated that 20-30% of the above mentioned patients had metastasis. Thus, approximately 2.560 patients are expected to be enrolled. 2. The prospective part of the study is going to enroll all metastatic patients eligible for palliative RT, treated in RT Centers of the Campania region with 3DCRT, IMRT, VMAT, SBRT techniques from September 2020 to September 2025. Considering the RT Centers that joined the trial, it is expected to enroll approximately 2.500-4.200 patients per year and a total of 12.500-21.000 patients in 5 years. The study will last 61 months, divided as follow: 60 months of enrollment phase and up to 1 month of follow-up for pain and bone metastasis patients. Follow-up will be performed on the 15th and 30th day after the end of radiation treatment.

Prospective Study: Level B a. Pain control
Pain control measured for patient self-reporting of pain with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score, a 11-point scale (from 0 to 10), with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity
Time frame: Up to 1 month after the end of RT
Prospective Study: Level C a. Quality of Life (QoL) according to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C15-PAL questionnaire (health-related quality of life).
Quality of life (QoL) according to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C15-PAL questionnaire (health-related quality of life). It is scored on a metric from 0 to 10, higher scores mean better outcome
Time frame: Until 2 weeks before RT
Prospective Study: Level C b. Functional performance measured by Palliative Performance Score (PPS).
Functional performance measured by Palliative Performance Score (PPS). To score, there are 11 levels of PPS from 0% to 100% in 10 percent increments. Every decrease in 10% marks a fairly significant decrease in physical function.
