[Recommendations for the management of oligometatic NSCLC]

The concept of oligometastatic disease in lung cancer has been the subject of much publication and speculation. Indeed, beyond its definition, which is still a matter of debate, it is a rather broad concept considering synchronous oligometastatic disease but also oligoprogression and oligopersistence concepts. These questions are increasingly common considering the improvement of systemic treatments in recent years. Although no prospective randomized trial has been conducted to date, it would seem appropriate to offer patients local ablative treatment of oligoprogression, especially if symptomatic or in cases of oncogenic addiction. On the other hand, the most recent data do not defend the closure treatment approach for patients who benefit from immunotherapy. All in all, it is important to remember that systemic therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for metastatic lung cancer, and that further robust randomized studies will be needed to determine the place of local therapy.
