Bone metastases (BM) are a common complication in advanced cancer patients, significantly contributing to morbidity and mortality due to their ability to cause pain, fractures, and spinal cord compression. Radiation therapy (RT) is vital in managing these complications by targeting metastatic lesions to ease pain, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of skeletal-related events such as fractures. Evidence supports the effectiveness of RT in pain relief, showing its ability to provide significant palliation and lessen the need for opioid painkillers, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life (QoL) for patients with BM. However, optimizing RT outcomes involves considerations such as the choice of radiation technique, dose fractionation schedules, and the integration of supportive care measures to mitigate treatment-related side effects like fatigue and skin reactions. These factors highlight the importance of personalized treatment planning tailored to individual patient needs and tumor characteristics. This mini-review aims to provide comprehensive insights into the multifaceted impacts of RT on pain management and QoL enhancement in BM patients, with implications for refining clinical practices and advancing patient care through the synthesis of findings from various studies.
Core Tip: Radiation therapy (RT) significantly alleviates pain and improves quality of life in patients with bone metastases. Optimizing RT effectiveness involves personalized treatment approaches and supportive care measures to manage side effects, enhancing overall well-being and symptom control.

Cancers are a significant global problem and may lead to severe complications like bone metastasis (BM), which can cause pain and mobility issues[1,2]. Additionally, the psychological impact of cancer can be profound, resulting in anxiety and depression for many patients[3]. Metastatic bone cancer, or secondary bone cancer, denotes the proliferation of tumors originating from other tissues and disseminating (metastasizing) to bone sites[4]. According to the American Cancer Society, about 400000 new malignant BM cases are diagnosed annually[5]. The incidence rate of BM in the United States is still unknown, with estimates varying from 21000 to 400000 per annum[6]. BM ranks as the third most prevalent site for metastatic malignancies[7]. Notably, bone represents a common locus for metastases, often signaling a short prognosis for cancer patients. Indeed, BM surpasses primary bone cancers in occurrence, particularly among adults[8]. Among cancers, prostate cancer poses the highest risk for bone metastases, trailed by lung, renal, or breast cancers. The rich arterial supply to bone predisposes it to metastatic dissemination[9,10]. Generally, the presence of BM in patients predicts a poor prognosis, with median survival ranging from 6 months to 4 years, depending on the primary cancer type[8]. It can significantly impact the quality of life (QoL), causing severe pain, impaired mobility, pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, and other complications[8,11]. It negatively affects multiple domains of QoL, including physical, emotional, social, and functional well-being[11]. Pain is a significant factor impacting QoL, but other issues like reduced activities of daily living also play an essential role[11,12]. Treatment aims to relieve pain, prevent complications, and improve overall QoL. Options include pain medications, radiation therapy (RT), surgery, and bone-targeted agents like bisphosphonates[12]. In general, a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists, pain specialists, radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and others is recommended for optimal management[8,12].
RT is the predominant therapeutic approach for addressing painful bone metastases in the spine and non-spine regions. Initially, conventional low-dose external beam RT was employed for this purpose; however, stereotactic body ra
Our purpose in this mini-review study was to offer a thorough investigation of the effects of RT on pain alleviation and QoL among patients with bone metastases. This involved synthesizing available evidence concerning the effectiveness of RT in managing pain associated with BM and its influence on various aspects of patient’s QoL. Ultimately, our goal was to provide clinicians and researchers with valuable insights to improve the application of RT in treating bone metastases, focusing on enhancing overall well-being and symptom control for patients (Figure 1).
Prior research has shown that conventional RT alleviates pain in approximately 60% of people suffering from painful bone metastases, with total pain reduction in about 30% of cases[18,19]. On the other hand, SBRT is a more precise RT technique delivering high doses of radiation in few fractions, primarily used for extra-cranial lesions like lung, liver, and prostate, offering enhanced accuracy compared to conventional radiotherapy (cRT)[20]. SBRT also demonstrated a pain relief rate reaching up to 50%[21]. In a study conducted by Wang et al[22] they revealed that patients undergoing SBRT had better pain alleviation three months after radiation than those undergoing cRT, with no increase in adverse event occurrence. Moreover, in a study on palliative RT fractionation for bone metastases, Rich et al[23] discovered that both single and multiple-fraction radiation treatment regimens consistently result in similar pain management and side effects. However, patients who receive single-fraction treatment are more likely to require re-treatment.
The exact mechanism underlying radiation-induced pain alleviation remains unexplained. Radiation's analgesic impact is thought to be due to a variety of causes, including ossification stimulation, osteoclast activity inhibition within the bone microenvironment, and cancer cell elimination, all of which lead to decreased osteolysis and, as a result, tumor burden reduction[24,25]. Some patients have immediate pain relief that lasts longer than 24 hours, indicating a decrease in inflammatory cell activity and the concentration of chemical pain mediators in the radiation-exposed area. These characteristics help to increase the analgesic efficacy of RT[26]. The fractionation regimen of RT used on individuals with BM impacts the degree of mineralization, bone density, and re-calcification at the treated location, which correlates with pain response[27,28].
Patients with bone pain frequently face increasing difficulties completing daily activities, which is accompanied by severe distress and a reduction in QoL. Despite this, few studies provide complete QoL assessments. Furthermore, existing research provides mixed results, and some show an improvement in QoL among patients who respond well to RT treatment[29-33]. Others suggest that RT's impact on QoL across various domains is inconsistent[34-36]. Nevertheless, a recent study conducted by Mendez et al[34] discovered that patients over 75 significantly improved overall activity, mood, and interpersonal interactions more than their younger counterparts. Furthermore, their patients experienced pain relief as early as four weeks after getting RT. This finding was associated with a statistically significant improvement in QoL across all dimensions of functional interference, except sleeping quality, consistent with Zeng et al[37] results. On the other hand, Khan et al[38] claimed that sleeping improves in the second and third month after the treatment in patients responding positively to the RT.
Studies have demonstrated the substantial impact of RT on the physical functioning and QoL of individuals with BM[15]. The primary goal of RT in this context is to alleviate pain and prevent skeletal-related events such as fractures, which can severely impact a patient's mobility and daily activities. while RT is beneficial for pain management and may contribute to improved physical functioning, a comprehensive approach considering all influencing factors is necessary for optimal patient care[39].
A prospective, single-institutional study showed that RT significantly improved nine domains of QoL in patients with BM, with pain management the most notable improvement. This study underscored the effectiveness of RT in palliating painful BM and enhancing QoL[40]. Patients with bone metastases receiving palliative radiotherapy have reported improvements in their physical functioning, including general activities of daily living[11,41]. A study found that gender, performance status, and primary histology affect health-related QoL in patients with BM[42].
RT, particularly when integrated with complementary therapeutic modalities, enhances daily functioning, mobility, and overall physical well-being among patients with BM[43]. Its pivotal role in managing BM chiefly revolves around pain alleviation, indirectly fostering improved mobility, daily activities, and overall physical wellness. RT exhibits efficacy in providing pain relief for patients with BM originating from diverse primary cancers, including lung, breast, colon, and prostate, among others[44-48]. Augmenting RT with adjunctive interventions like Poly methyl methacrylate acetabuloplasty or pharmacological approaches such as calcitonin can increase these outcomes[49]. This body of research underscores the necessity of adopting a multidisciplinary approach to managing BM to optimize physical function and enhance the QoL for affected patients[49].
Although there is no investigation to provide specific results on the long-term impact of RT on physical functioning, studies suggest that by effectively managing symptoms and complications related to BM through RT and supportive care, patients may experience maintenance or improvement in physical functioning and overall QoL[41]. A primary consideration associated with RT for BM revolves around the possibility of long-term bone impairment and heightened fracture susceptibility. Radiation exposure can induce bone demineralization and debilitation, particularly within irradiated regions, consequently elevating the likelihood of pathological fractures. Such fractures can exacerbate limitations in physical functioning and mobility[50].
Combining RT with bone-targeted therapies may help mitigate the adverse effects on bone health[50]. RT may precipitate enduring musculoskeletal complications, encompassing muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and diminished range of motion. Such effects can be further compounded by the presence of underlying BM and the accompanying pain and immobility[51]. Physical activity and exercise, when possible, may help preserve musculoskeletal function and mitigate some of the adverse effects of RT and BM[51].
Patients with BM usually experience psychological distress marked by anxiety, depression, and fear[52,53]. The associated pain, disability, and loss of independence often induce feelings of helplessness, social isolation, and apprehension regarding the future and end-of-life[52,54]. Studies demonstrated that BM exerts a more profound negative impact on psychological well-being compared to other metastatic sites. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that older age, female sex, malignancy, higher numeric rating scale scores, and a lower Barthel Index were associated with increased risk for psychological distress[53]. Weng Hong et al[55] did a study among orthopedic oncology patients and reported that 29.8% had anxiety, 16.2% had depression, and 15.2% had mixed anxiety and depression.
Few studies have looked into the psychological effects of RT. For instance, Cañón et al[41] revealed that responders to RT significantly improved functional psychosocial aspects (such as relations with others and life enjoyment) compared with nonresponders. These findings were consistent with Mcdonald et al[33], Westhoff et al[35], and Caissie et al[56] evaluated the emotional functioning of the patients by asking them about feeling tense or depressed, and they found that RT responders had an improvement in emotional functioning together with a decrease in symptoms such as insomnia at month 1.
Providing psycho-social support for individuals coping with BM is crucial for enhancing their overall well-being and QoL. According to some studies, prognostic awareness correlates with decreased QoL and mood among patients recently diagnosed with incurable cancer[57-60]. Furthermore, some studies show that patients who go through palliative therapy along with their treatment have better outcomes than patients undergoing oncology treatment alone[61,62]. However, specific coping strategies have been examined for their potential to enhance patients' mood and QOL. For instance, acceptance has been shown to positively influence patients' psychological and emotional well-being, diverging from the adverse effects associated with denial and self-blame[63]. This insight could guide the patient's support system, including their family and medical caregivers, in creating the best environment to assist the patient in overcoming this challenge.
The pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) challenges medical professionals to treat patients with advanced cancers, especially with RT[64]. Cancer patients are known to be fragile, so it is critical to treat patients safely and reduce the transmission risk of COVID-19[64]. Oncologists must re-organize how they approach treatment to reduce pain and improve palliation of patients[64,65]. Palliative RT can dramatically maximize the QoL of patients, even during the COVID-19 pandemic[66]. As such, guidelines recommend that patients with BM receive the 8Gy single-fraction RT during a single hospital visit[64,67]. Hypofractionated regimens for radiation are recommended to reduce the frequency of transport, the number of sessions, and complicated treatments[64].
Numerous factors, such as patient characteristics, treatment regimen, and supportive care services, can influence QoL outcomes[31]. Responding patients with painful BM have higher QoL scores than nonresponders after RT[31]. Elderly cancer patients show a worse QoL, including appetite and physical functioning, after RT for BM than younger patients[31,68,69]. Patients with younger ages report significant QoL[68]. More women report clinically better improvement in enjoyment of life and mood after radiation for relieving bone pain[68]. High bone pain scores are associated with poor performance status, influencing functional QoL after RT[35]. Combined hyperthermia and RT significantly improve the QoL and ease bone pain in patients with BM[70]. Nurse-led education reduces pain intensity and improves patient empowerment in cancer patients with BM undergoing RT[71].
Treatment recommendations for palliative RT for BM should be personalized based on individual patient characteristics to optimize patient outcomes[72-74]. Considering the patient's life expectancy, overall health, tumor progression, tumor biology, comorbidities, and clinical condition allows for the development of personalized treatment plans[72-74].
BM significantly impacts patients' physical, functional, and psychosocial QoL[75]. New therapies and interventions have improved patient's QoL and extended life expectancy. RT is the primary therapeutic approach for managing painful bone metastases, playing a crucial role in pain management and improving the overall QoL for individuals with BM[13,16,76].
Studies have shown the efficacy of both cRT and SBRT in relieving pain for patients with BM[22,23]. They indicated that patients undergoing SBRT experienced more pain relief three months after radiation than those undergoing cRT[22]. Radiation's impact is due to multiple factors, including ossification stimulation, osteoclast activity inhibition within the bone microenvironment, and cancer cell elimination[24,25]. These mechanisms lead to decreased osteolysis and reduced tumor burden[24,25]. Pain relief was associated with a statistically significant enhancement in QoL across various aspects of functional interference, except sleeping quality[41]. The main goal of RT is to alleviate pain and prevent skeletal-related events that can severely affect a patient's mobility and daily functioning[39]. RT is valuable for pain management and may positively enhance physical functioning[39]. Integrating RT with complementary therapeutic approaches improves physical well-being, mobility, and daily functioning in patients with BM[43]. RT can cause long-term musculoskeletal complications, including muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and limited movement, compounded by bone metastases, the accompanying pain, and immobility[51]. Research demonstrated that BM has a more profound negative impact on psychological well-being than other sites of metastasis[53]. Cañón et al[41] revealed that individuals who responded positively to RT experienced more improvements in their relationships with others and enjoyment of life than nonresponders.
BM, which is a severe complication of cancer, demands immediate attention as it is indicative of a limited prognosis in individuals with cancer[77,78]. Despite our knowledge being enhanced in the metastatic process, several questions remain unanswered that necessitate further research to comprehend the skeletal consequences of metastasis[78]. Future research directions in RT for BM include several critical areas[79]. These comprise response definitions, refining eligibility criteria, reirradiation, systemic therapy changes, radiation techniques, follow-up parameters, and assessment timing[79]. for instance, SBRT may improve local control and pain relief in non-spine BM individuals. However, further research is essential in areas such as volume delineation, MRI, ideal doses, and fractionation[15].
Therapeutic interventions have the potential to improve pain control and function and the preservation of skeletal integrity in patients with BM[80]. The approach to treatment necessitates a multidisciplinary approach[80]. Achieving successful management of BM requires collaboration among healthcare professionals such as medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, and radiation oncologists[80]. The judgment of expert radiation oncology physicians is crucial for optimizing outcomes of RT in treating painful BM[72]. Effective RT for BM requires a personalized approach that includes various factors, such as the individual's life expectancy and the progression of tumors in different sites[73].
In conclusion, RT has been proven to be a crucial treatment for patients with BM. It significantly helps to relieve pain and improve overall QoL. This treatment approach reduces the intense discomfort often associated with metastatic bone lesions, allowing patients to experience a notable improvement in their daily functioning and well-being. While the primary goal of RT is to manage pain and control disease progression, it's equally important to consider the broader impact on patients' QoL. The physical side effects, psychological stress, and potential long-term consequences of treatment require a comprehensive and patient-centered approach. Healthcare providers should prioritize the clinical effectiveness of RT and the individual patient’s experience, preferences, and overall QoL. By incorporating supportive care measures, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing assessment of QoL outcomes, we can optimize therapeutic regimens and ensure a holistic approach to caring for patients with bone metastases. Ultimately, recognizing and addressing these multifaceted needs will improve health outcomes and enhance QoL for patients undergoing RT.
