Oligoreview of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Oligometastases
In this Oncology Scan, we summarize 3 recent, prospective, randomized studies that have explored the role of local consolidative therapy (LCT), and in some more specifically, stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in the setting of oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer and its impact on cancer outcomes and survival. The oligometastatic state generally refers to a situation with a limited number of metastases and where the possibility to extend survival may materialize from metastases-directed treatments.
