New Strategies in Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Oligometastases.
Patients with metastatic solid tumors are usually treated with palliative intent. Systemic therapy and palliative radiation are often used, with the goals of prolonging survival or maintaining quality of life, but not of cure. In contrast to this paradigm, the theory of oligometastasis suggests that some patients who have a small number of metastases may be amenable to cure if all lesions can b...
متن کاملStereotactic robotic body radiotherapy for patients with unresectable hepatic oligometastases
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and toxicity of robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy for the treatment of unresectable hepatic oligometastases. Methods: Between 09/2010 and 06/2015, 43 consecutive patients (19 female, 24 male, median age at treatment: 69.8 ; range, 43-83 years) with up to three synchronous or metachronous hepatic oligometastases were referred for Cyberknife ...
متن کاملLung stereotactic radiotherapy for oligometastases: comparison of oligo-recurrence and sync-oligometastases†
BACKGROUND Oligometastases can be divided into sync-oligometastases and oligo-recurrence. The difference is whether the primary site is uncontrolled or controlled. The goal of this multicenter study was to evaluate treatment outcomes and factors affecting survival after stereotactic body radiotherapy for pulmonary oligometastases. METHODS The information after stereotactic body radiotherapy f...
متن کاملExtracranial oligometastases: a subset of metastases curable with stereotactic radiotherapy.
The term oligometastases, introduced in 1995 and detailed more recently, describes an intermediate state of cancer spread between localized disease and widespread metastases. Metastases from solid tumors are regarded as representative of disseminated cancer and are not considered curable, with the rare exception, such as germ cell tumors. By contrast, evidence has emerged that patients with lim...
