When the metastatic prostate cancer has spread to the bones, it can mean significant pain for the patient. Radiation Therapy has a long track record of reducing pain for when the disease has reached the bone according to Dr Zelefsky during a CancerCare Workshop on the issue. Typically, this type of therapy tends to be 10 sessions that last 2 weeks. After the radiation therapy is over, many patients experience significant reduction in pain on their bones. If doctors are able to pinpoint the disease, instead of the 10 session therapy, there is a possibility of a higher concentration of 2-3 session radiation therapy which has also seen success. Patient needs to note that after such treatment, bones are more prone to fracture, and needs to take it easy on the bones after treatment.
