Résumé
The cost of radiotherapy is a concern for health systems. The conventional non fractionated or multifractionated schemes have shown the same efficacy in terms of pain relief but a non fractionated treatment seems less expensive. However, in general practice, multifractionated treatments are still the majority, which represents an additional cost for society. Moreover, the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy becomes more democratic and offers new curative perspectives, but at what price?
