Palliative Radiotherapy (including SBRT)
External beam radiation therapy (SBRT if applicable) may be considered when bone metastases cause persistent pain, there is a risk of pathological fracture or spinal cord/nerve compression, or local control is needed after surgery/ablation. The decision is influenced by the primary tumor type, lesio

How Palliative Radiotherapy (including SBRT) is performed
Positioning simulation and fixation are often performed before treatment, with optional phantoms and image guidance. Radiation oncologists and physicists develop a plan, and three-dimensional conformal/intensity-modulated or stereotactic irradiation is performed via a linear accelerator, completed in fractions according to the plan. Position and dose are monitored during treatment, with image correction if necessary; skin, pain, and blood counts are observed after treatment, with the goal of reducing pain and controlling the local area. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
