ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The oligometastatic disease is a low burden metastatic disease that might still benefit from curable treatment. Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is a complex group of malignancies, with high rates of loco-regional recurrences. Distant metastases are less frequent, and a single or few deposits are often observed (oligometastatic disease). The optimal management of oligometastatic HNSCC remains to be defined. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Key references were derived from a PubMed query. Hand searching and clinicaltrials.gov were also used.RESULTS:
This paper contains a narrative report and a critical discussion of the available evidence on the management of oligometastatic HNSCC patients, with a focus on metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), particularly stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR).CONCLUSIONS:
in line with literature data, the multidisciplinary evaluation emerged as the key element in the management of oligometastatic HNSCC patients.
