- Abstract
Abstract: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the United States as well as a leading cause of cancer-related death. Upward of 30% of patients ultimately develop metastatic disease, most commonly to the liver and lung. Untreated, patients have poor survival. Historically, patients with oligometastatic disease were treated with resection leading to long-term survival; however, there are many patients who are not surgical candidates. Innovations in thermal ablation, hepatic artery infusions, chemoembolization and radioembolization, and stereotactic ablative radiation have led to an expansion of patients eligible for local therapy. This review examines the evidence behind each modality for the most common locations of oligometastatic colorectal cancer., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding: The authors have disclosed that they have no significant relationships with, or financial interest in, any commercial companies pertaining to this article., (Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
