Stereotactic radiotherapy in metastatic breast cancer.

This article provides preliminary evidence that metastasis-direct ablation, with advanced radiotherapy techniques, may play an important role in the management of metastatic breast cancer patients, potentially improving clinical outcomes with minimal toxicity. However, prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to further the understanding of the interaction between systemic therapy and ablative irradiation. Additionally, research in genomic and molecular profiling is needed to characterize metastatic breast cancer patients who will most likely benefit from such combined treatment approaches.
