Abstract
Oligometastatic disease represents a clinically discrete intermediate stage of cancer progression and is an expanding area of research. While surgical metastatectomy has been recognized for decades as an effective treatment option in select patients, options for metastasis-directed therapy have broadened in scope with advancements in the armamentarium of non- and minimally invasive modalities. Recent preclinical studies investigating the immunology surrounding liver metastases demonstrate treatment resistance to immunotherapy in affected patients and show how locoregional therapy has the ability to overcome this resistance. In this paper, we review advancements in our understanding of oligometastatic disease, metastasis-directed therapy, effect of liver metastasis on response to immunotherapy, and the burgeoning role of image-guided interventions in complementing cancer immunotherapy at the exciting crossroads of interventional oncology and immuno-oncology.
