Résumé
Radiotherapy for pain is a secure and effective treatment. Mechanism of action is hardly known. External beam radiation therapy is a standard treatment for painful uncomplicated bone metastases and/or prevention of morbidity. Stereotactic body radiation therapy can be useful for solitary or oligometastatic spinal bone metastases. Clinician is unfamiliar with radionuclide therapy which is so underused. It is also a secure and effective treatment (alone or associated with external beam radiation therapy) for painful multiple bone uncomplicated metastasis.
