If you have five or fewer mets then you can get SBRT radiation To treat them. But you also want to treat the prostate. Frequently that means SBRT radiation to both areas. Some doctors will do both, Others want to do IMRT to the prostate and then SBRT to the mets.

It varies a lot, what a doctor will want to do. Some might even want to do chemo, Which is what is done frequently if you have more than five mets.

The other things found in the biopsy can be a factor in what is decided would be best to do.
