Summary
Stereotactic body radiation therapy effectively manages limited metastatic disease, particularly bone oligometastases. This review highlights its survival and local control benefits across various cancer types.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiation Oncology
- Medical Physics
Background:
- Oligometastases, defined as limited metastatic spread (≤5 sites), are increasingly recognized in cancer management.
- Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) shows efficacy in controlling oligometastatic disease, improving survival and local control.
- Research on SBRT for oligometastases often aggregates data across all sites, with limited focus on specific metastatic locations like bone.
