Current Treatment Status and Prospect of Surgery and Thermal Ablation for Pulmonary Oligometastases in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract

Oligometastasis can be regarded as a transition state between early metastasis and extensive metastasis (limited tumor load, unique tumor biological behavior). Due to the relatively limited number of metastatic foci and the number of affected organs, there is a potential chance of cure after active systemic and local treatment. With the rapid development of molecular targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy, local therapy for oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including oligorecurrence and oligoprogression, has received increasing attention. In this paper, the relevant research, efficacy, influencing factors, safety and indications of local therapy such as surgery and thermal ablation were discussed. .
