[Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of bone metastases in oligometastasised prostate cancer].

CONCLUSION:  SBRT of bone metastases in oligometastatic prostate carcinoma patients is an effective and well tolerated therapy and can help to achieve high local control in the area of the metastases as well as delay the start or the escalation of systemic therapy. Nevertheless, the high rate of progression of distant metastases shows how important correct patient selection is and that combination with aHT may be necessary.
