Abstract
New developments of systemic therapy concepts for metastatic prostate carcinoma have led to a significant improvement in the prognosis in the recent past. It has long been unclear to what extent local and/or metastasis-directed therapies have an additional oncologic benefit in addition to palliation, local control and functional maintenance. For local therapy of the prostate, the highest evidence currently exists for radiotherapy and shows a significantly increased overall survival in "low- burden" oligometastatic patients. Metastasis-directed surgical or radio-oncological concepts may also improve prognosis but have not yet been sufficiently investigated and should therefore be discussed, documented and established on an individual and interdisciplinary basis.
