The aim of this article is to present possibilities of treatment for painful bone metastases in patients with disseminated breast cancer. One

possibility of reducing or relieving bone metastases pain is to administer of the radiotherapy at the site of metastases. The current medicine

uses two ways of radiotherapy administration at the site of metastases: external-beam irradiation or intravenous administration of boneseeking

therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. The purpose of the pain treatment is the pain reduction and improvement of quality of life.

Keywords: pain, bone metastases, breast cancer, irradiation
