Assessing the role of stereotactic body radiation therapy in a large cohort of patients with lymph node oligometastases: does it affect systemic treatment's intensification?

CONCLUSION: With the present analysis, we confirmed on a large cohort the benefit from SBRT on lymph node oligometastases in multidisciplinary management. Combination of SBRT with new systemic therapies, including immunotherapy and targeted therapy, should be investigated to reduce the risk of progression out of the field of irradiation.
