In this observational study researchers want to gather more information about safety and survival in patients suffering from castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) which has spread to the bone and were treated with radium-223 in routine clinical practice in Taiwan. Radium-223 (Ra-223) is an alpha particle-emitting radioactive agent approved for the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
The primary objective of the study is to describe the safety profile of radium-223 dichloride in patients having castration-resistent prostate cancer with symptomatic bone metastases and who are treated in routine clinical practice in Taiwan. The secondary objective is to assess the effectiveness of radium-223 dichloride in these patients.

Change in pain status
Pain status is assessed through analgesic utility that is calculated by WHO analgesic scores (0 - none, 1 - non-opioid, 2 - opioid for mild to moderate pain, 3 - opioid for moderate to severe pain)
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Change in ECOG-PS
The Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance Status (ECOG-PS) score ranks the performance status from 0 (perfect health) to 5 (death).
Time frame: Up to 2 years
