  • (\*) A patient who has numerous radiotherapy sessions can only be included once; (\*\*) with acquisition phase in a prostrate or decubitus dorsal position and strictly immobile in one of the cameras (PET or SPECT).
  • Inclusion criteria (cohort):
  • As for the inclusion criteria for the phase II study, with the following modifications:
  • 4\. Patients treated with a slow-releasing/extended-release opioid for:

  • and with at least 60 mg per day of oral morphine, or at least 30 mg/day of oral oxycodone, or at least 8 mg/day of oral hydromorphone, or at least 25 µg/h of transdermal fentanyl.
  • 5\. Patients who believes that they are cannot assume a prostrate or decubitus dorsal position for a diagnostic or therapeutic examination/intervention due to the pain they will experienced in this position,
  • Or
  • Patients experience breakthrough pain (numerical pain scale 5), in a region corresponding to the localization of the metastatic lesions or the primary tumor, when they assume a prostrate/decubitus dorsal position,
  • Or
  • Patients who have breakthrough pain (numerical pain scale 5) in a region corresponding to the localization of the metastatic lesions or the primary tumor that prevents the completion of a diagnostic or therapeutic examination/intervention.
  • 6\. Public health insurance coverage.
