1. Introduction

Bone metastases are a common manifestation of malignancies that can cause severe and debilitating effects, including pain, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia and pathologic

fractures. Proper care of patients with bone metastasis requires interdisciplinary treatments delivered by orthopedic surgeons, radiation oncologists, rehabilitation specialists, medical oncologists, pain medicine specialists, radiologists and palliative care professionals. Radiotherapy (RT) has played a central role for palliation of painful bone metastasis, leading to complete pain relief at the treated site in up to one-third of patients [1]. The role of RT and radiotherapeutic techniques using a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of bone metastases have been discussed recently.
