Non-spine Bone Metastases
摘要
Bone metastases are a common occurrence and can cause severe pain and pathologic fracture. Conventional radiotherapy using hypofractionated regimens with or without prophylactic fixation is the standard treatment. In patients with bone oligometastases or progressive bone metastases after prior conventional radiotherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) may be considered. Data on SBRT for limited non-spine bone metastases are emerging, showing promising results. This chapter will focus on SBRT for non-spine bone metastases.
