- Abstract
The article examines the role of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), a radiation delivery method, in painful bone metastases, primarily in the vertebral column. The SBRT method allows for a large ablative dose to be accurately given to the target over one to a few fractions. The article also examines the SBRT's role in the treatment of tumors traditionally deemed radioresistant.
