Oligometastatic Disease in Community Practice

This activity reviews the various oligometastatic states, existing and upcoming data supporting radiation in appropriately selected patients, intersection of radiation with systemic therapy, and practical applications of radiation treatment delivery with a focus on stereotactic ablative radiation (SABR) techniques. After the activity, providers should have increased comfort in advocating for radiation with oligometastatic patients and greater proficiency of SABR treatment planning and delivery, including any relationship with ongoing or overlapping systemic therapies.
