Abstract

Initial tumour burden is widely acknowledged to be a strong prognostic factor for cancer treatment, and the difference among polymetastatic and oligometastatic cancers in clinical trials is gaining the attention of oncologists. Randomised phase 3 trials represent the gold standard approach in testing new drugs against cancer. Notably, the selection of patients for inclusion in phase 3 trials relies on prespecified clinical and methodological rules (eg, clinical characteristics, randomisation procedure, and stratification factors) to keep the risk of biases affecting the strength and standardisation of results as low as possible.
