Radiation therapy for oligoprogressive NSCLC

31 Jan 2024 by

Oligoprogression is defined as limited metastatic areas that progress while on/off systemic therapy in the context of oligometastatic or polymetastatic disease. Individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastasis with oligoprogression may benefit from local ablative radiotherapy, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
