External beam radiotherapy is effective in the management of bone metastases for both local and more widespread pain. It is effective in spinal canal compression and pathological fracture where it also may have a prophylactic role. Single dose radiotherapy for bone metastases is a highly cost effective palliative treatment.
体外放射治疗对于局部和更广泛的骨转移疼痛的处理是有效的。它在椎管压迫和病理性骨折的治疗中有效,在这些情况中它也可能具有预防作用。骨转移的单次放射治疗是一种性价比很高的姑息治疗方法。
