About This Trial
This study is being done to answer the following question: Is Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy or SBRT (a form of radiation therapy which can deliver high doses of radiation to the specific painful area of the body most affected by cancer, while keeping the radiation beams away from the healthy parts of the body that surround the cancer) better for pain relief than the standard treatment of con…
