Results of Radiation Therapy as Local Ablative Therapy for Oligometastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Oligometastatic cancer is characterized by a limited number of metastatic deposits. Compared with lung cancer patients who have more widespread disease, oligometastatic lung cancer patients have more favorable survival outcomes. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that local ablative therapy (LAT) d...
