Thanks for posting....it is being looked at also in SABR COMET-10 where up to 10 lesions are treated. Some here believe that it may not improve OS, but I am not counted amongst them. I had stereotactic radiation on one lesion, and other studies indicate that it may improve OS, and enhance PFS for significant periods...

My dad had 4 lesions. His last ALP reading was 40 and he's coming up on 6 months at the end of April. I don't think have that low of ALP would constitute a widespread metastasis.

I convinced him and his Onc to give him a repeat bone scan next week and then zap any mets they see with radiation. Reading your posts and some studies has encouraged me that this is a good route and even if it increases survival by a year, it's worth it.

This forum and people like you are so important on my fathers journey. Thank you.

To zap these mets you should use SBRT radiation. The standard radiation with IMRT, they use 8 Gy, is just to treat bone pain.

Thank you for this.

check out boron -- I took it for just 2 days prior to taking PSA test and it lowered my PSA from .6 to .5 -- I started taking 9 mg daily.

I keep trying to paste it to my browser but my swinging mini testicles keep knocking it off (even using superglue).👀

Is stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for individual bone mets considered standard of care and thus covered under health insurance or does one need to find a trial?

[rocket09 in reply to 6357axbz]

A trial is what I see.

[GP24]

Apparently the STAMPEDE group also plans a similar trial for PCa. It shall be a phase III trial and be called "Arm M". Results available in ten years. They are looking for funding now.

So if you need good evidence to decide whether to radiate your mets with SBRT you have to keep your mets for the next ten years, at least.
