Radiation Therapy for Bone Metastases
What are Bone Metastases?
Treatment for bone metastases depends on several factors, including where the cancer started, its extent (stage), its location and your overall health.
- A radiation oncologist is a doctor specially trained to treat cancer with types of radiation.
- A medical oncologist is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with drugs called chemotherapy.
- A surgeon is a doctor who specializes in surgically removing cancers.
