abstract = {Background: Radiotherapy is an essential part of cancer
therapy in general and particularly of the treatment of bone
metastases. Objective: This article aims to give an overview
of the indications, technique, regimes, outcomes, and
limitations of radiotherapy for the treatment of bone
metastases. Materials and methods: The current literature
and guidelines on radiation therapy of bone metastases were
reviewed under the guidance of experts from the Department
of Radiotherapy and Orthopedics at the University Hospital
of Freiburg (Comprehensive Cancer Center Freiburg, CCCF).
Results: Radiation therapy successfully reduces pain in
$60\%$ of patients with bone metastases within 2–3 weeks.
It induces reossification within 3–6 months. In a
palliative setting, fractionation can be reduced to even
single-fraction treatments, resulting in nearly the same
pain reduction in symptomatic bone metastases as compared to
multiple-fraction treatment regimes. Stereotactic ablative
radiotherapy seems to have the greatest potential in the
treatment of oligometastatic disease. Conclusion: Radiation
therapy is a potent tool to treat most bone metastases—not
only in palliative but also in curative settings. More
recently developed techniques of radiotherapy have even
increased the therapeutic effectiveness while reducing side
effects in surrounding organs at risk.},
