Pain relief from bone metastases is achieved in 80 percent of patients by local irradiation. Response to local irradiation is much faster in metastases from breast and lung than in prostate bone metastases. Local irradiation is also very effective in preventing pathological fractures in lytic bone lesions, and healing of the pathological fractures by new bone formation.
80%的骨转移患者通过局部放疗可实现疼痛缓解。与前列腺骨转移相比，来自乳腺和肺部的转移灶对局部放疗的反应要快得多。局部放疗在预防溶骨性骨病变中的病理性骨折以及通过新骨形成促进病理性骨折愈合方面也非常有效。
