Bone Tumors: Radiotherapy

Radiatio can be used as the sole treatment for bone tumors or in combination with tumor resection (surgical removal of the tumor). Radiatio is used for the following bone tumors:

  • Ewing’s sarcoma (primary malignant/malignant).
  • Plasmocytoma (primary malignant)
  • Osteosarcoma – palliative (without curative approach) (primary malignant).
  • Bone metastases – palliative → analgesic and recalcifying (secondary malignant).
