Deskripsi

Radiotherapy and immunotherapy are most effective as cancer therapies in the setting of low-volume disease. Although initial studies of radio-immunotherapy in patients with metastatic cancer have not confirmed the efficacy of this approach, the role of radio-immunotherapy in patients with limited metastatic burden is unclear. We propose that further investigation of radio-immunotherapy in metastatic patients should focus upon patients with oligometastatic disease.
