Treatment of SP is largely composed of retrospective studies on small

number of patients

Currently, the standard of care for SBP is definitive RT, being SBP a

highly radiosensitive disease, for which excellent local control rates can

be achieved with RT alone (lesion size as prognostic factor; cut off 5 cm)

In some cases (bone instability, rapidly progressive neurological

symptoms) surgical intervention may be required
