Oligoprogression in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

We reviewed the literature on oligoprogressive disease (OPD) and local ablative therapy (LAT) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The frequency of OPD varies depending on its definition and is estimated to be between 15–47%. The implications of the strategy of continuing th...
