Radiation will be delivered in a single fraction. The recommended prescription dose is 8 Gy with external beam radiation therapy. Up to two sites of bone metastases may be treated on trial (i.e. no more than two radiation portals). Each site may have multiple lesions.

RECRUITINGTo assess the rate at which the intervention is delivered with fidelity to protocol.
To provide proof-of-concept that patients can be treated with simulation-free, single-fraction palliative radiation therapy with only a single in-person visit to Huntsman Cancer Hospital (HCH). This will be defined as receiving simulation-free, single-fraction radiation therapy with documented real-time approval by the radiation oncologist, medical physicist, and radiation therapist that the treatment adequately covers the target without unreasonable or unsafe differences.
Time frame: 1 day
The percentage of patients who experience an improved Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Quality of Life Measurement in patients with bone pain score at 30 days post-treatment compared to baseline.
To assess whether the percentage of patients who experience an improvement in patient-reported quality of life related to bone pain after simulation-free, single-fraction palliative radiation therapy is consistent with a historical standard of 70%. Improved will be defined as an increase in total FACT-BP score of ≥ 2.
Time frame: 30 days
