Oligometastatic lung cancer

My deployment is limited to a few locations. Are local measures still being discussed?

When spread is limited to a few locations, discussions may include local therapy targeted at the lesion, often in conjunction with systemic therapy.

Upload Medical ReportPrepare questions for your doctor

Not a diagnosis and not final medical advice. Must be reviewed by a doctor.

What changes at this stage

  • The number and location of lesions determine whether a local approach is considered.
  • The choice of treatment depends on the size of the lesion and the distance from important structures.
  • Response to systemic therapy influences subsequent decisions.

Options that are usually discussed

  • Stereotactic radiotherapy to limited lesions

    SBRT or SRS may be discussed when the lesions are limited in size and few in number.

  • Systemic therapy with targeted local action

    A combination of both is discussed in some patients with limited disease.

  • Regular monitoring

    Periodic imaging is used to assess whether new lesions appear.

The decision remains with your doctor

This page explains the options that may be discussed; it does not choose one for you.

Practical next steps

  • Ask how many lesions were assessed and why.
  • Discuss whether local treatment of a particular lesion is beneficial.
  • Make sure the follow-up imaging schedule is clear.

Questions for your oncologist

  • Is my disease oligometastatic?
  • Is local treatment of certain lesions worth considering?
  • What is the plan if new lesions appear?
  • Are there clinical trials for this group?
