1-If a patient has generic cancer mets to the bone, is in pain and without spinal cord compression...would you give pain meds OR radiation first?
2-Same case as above but with spinal cord compression...would you give pain meds, radiation, OR streroids first? What would you give second?
3-How would the management change if the patient had primary metastatic prostate cancer mets to the bone...in what order would you use pain meds, radiation, steroids, OR hormone agonists/antagonists?
4-Would scenario 3 change if the cancer was recurrent prostate cancer?
Thanks
