Should special precautions be taken when treating oligometastatic disease in the sacrum or pelvis with SBRT in a patient with a long life expectancy?  

For example in a patient with a good performance status and a biologically favorable cancer (ER+ breast cancer, EGFR+ NSCLC, or prostate cancer), are you worried about increased fracture risk over time? What dose fractionation would you consider?
