Abstract
The oligometastatic disease state, defined as a cancer with 5 or fewer sites of metastasis, is a therapeutic opportunity to improve oncologic outcomes. Colorectal cancer (CRC) was among the first for which oligometastatic treatment was used in routine clinical practice, and recent studies have shown potential for improved overall survival with metastasis-directed therapies. As CRC is the third most common cause of cancer death in men and women, improving oncologic outcomes in this population is of paramount importance. The relatively recent identification of this treatment paradigm and paucity of high-quality data have led to heterogeneity in clinical practice. This review will explore perspectives of a panel of surgical and radiation oncologists for complex or controversial cases of metastatic CRC.
