Definition of oligometastatic state An oligometastatic state is an intermediate state between purely localized lesions and those widely metastatic. The state was expounded to be amenable to a curative therapeutic strategy and amenable to localized therapy. Hellman S, Weichselbaum RR. JCO 1995
Definition of oligometastatic state Widely Metastatic Disease Limited Metastatic Disease Distinct clinical state Metastases limited in number and site (3 to 5 in 1-3 sites) More indolent biology Amenable to local ablative approaches

Surgery Of the 5 most common cancer types, colorectal cancer has been the subject of the largest number of studies of metastasectomy with demonstrated 5-year survival rates of >50%, and 10-year survival ranging from 17% to 36%. The role of metastasectomy in other cancer types remains more controversial. Multiple metastasectomy series have now been published for breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma, all of which with relatively favorable survival in carefully selected patients, but the series are smaller and less frequently report long-term follow-up. Bartlett EK Cancer 2015
Surgery vs SBRT Metastasectomy increases local control with significant improvement of survival in selected patients Most patients are inoperable for comorbidities or sites of metastases
SBRT 2010 Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an external beam radiation therapy method used to very precisely deliver a high dose of radiation to an extracranial target within the body, using either a single dose or a small number of fractions. The ability to deliver a single or a few fractions of high-dose ionizing radiation with high targeting accuracy and rapid dose falloff gradients encompassing tumors within a patient provides the basis for the development of SBRT.
SBRT 2015 Most common sites: lung (90%) spine (68%) liver (63%) bones (58%) adrenals (39%)

Future directions 2017 local SBRT is able to induce systemic effects influencing the antitumor immune response in oligometastatic BC patients. Liquid biopsy may thus represent a useful resource to monitor the potential immunogenic effect of SBRT that in turn could contribute to the curative potential of this treatment not only locally but also systemically.
Ongoing trials SABRT-COMET Trial: Standard of care (Palliative RT and CT) +/- SBRT - Any primary tumor site - Maximum 3 metastases in any single organ system (i.e. lung, liver, brain, bone) - Primary endpoint: OS - Closed for accrual (99 partecipants) NRG BR002: Standard of care systemic therapy +/- SBRT or Surgery - Breast cancer only - 1-2 Metastatic lesions - Primary endpoints: PFS - OS - Open for accrual (402 partecipants) CORE Trial: Standard of care (CT, HT, Surgery or Palliative RT) +/- SBRT - Breast, Stereotactic Prostate and radiation NSCLC also doubled survival without cancer growth. -Patients A maximum who received of 2 different stereotactic organs (e.g ablative liver, radiotherapy lung, bone, nodal) experienced may contain a median metastases overall survival but the of total 41 months number vs of 28 lesions months must in not the exceed standard 3 radiation arm (P =.09). -Progression-free Primary endpoint: survival PFS was 12 months in the stereotactic arm vs 6 months for those -who Open received for accrual standard (206 radiation partecipants) (P =.001).

Chemotherapy completed at least 3 weeks before treatment and started at least 2 weeks after treatment is allowed. Systemic therapies other than chemotherapy allowed (i.e hormonal therapies and/or immunotherapy) OPEN FOR ACCRUAL
Registry Trials
Conclusions Oligometatatic BC is a distinct state characterized by an indolent biology and associated with a favorauble prognosis SBRT should improve clinical outcome Selection of the true oligometastatic patient is the challenge Level 1 evidence lacking Need to enroll oligometastatic patients into randomized trials
