Radiotherapy of bone metastases: 2025 update
Abstract
We present the updated recommendations of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (the French society for radiation oncology) regarding the indications and technical modalities of radiotherapy for bone metastases. This treatment is commonly used in the management of patients with cancer. In most cases, it involves relatively simple radiotherapy technique with proven efficacy in reducing pain or managing spinal cord compression. More complex treatments using stereotactic conditions can be proposed for patients with painful bone metastases, oligometastatic disease, or in case of reirradiation. In this context, increased vigilance must be given to the risks of spinal cord toxicity.
