Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies cryosurgery and radiation therapy in treating patients with painful bone metastases. Cryosurgery kills tumor cells by freezing them. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving cryosurgery together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
