Management of Oligometastatic Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT

The management of oligometastatic colorectal cancer differs from the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, and it is essential that those who treat oligometastatic disease be familiar with the treatment options for these patients. Although definitive treatment is often surgical, there are situations where local therapies such as SBRT or ablative techniques may better serve the patient. Adjuvant therapy should be provided to all patients, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be considered as well. The role of immunotherapy is currently limited due to the lack of clinical trials in this area.
