Prostate cancer is one of the most common tumors in men. At presentation, 50% of patients have advanced disease and 25% have bone metastases. Hormonal palliation is the treatment of choice for metastatic bone pain, with a pain‐free response rate of 75% for a period of 16‐18 months. Second‐line treatment with chemotherapy has a moderate and short‐term effect. Once endocrine therapy and chemotherapy cease to be effective, radiotherapy is a good option for recurrent painful bone metastases. Diffuse painful metastases can be treated with half‐body irradiation with a response rate of up to 70%, but there is considerable toxicity.
