Abstract
Since the original definition of the oligometastatic state in 1995,1 the potential to cure metastatic cancer with local ablative therapy has generated substantial enthusiasm. In the intervening 25 years, local ablative therapies such as surgery, stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR), and thermal ablation have been widely adopted in some countries for patients with oligometastatic cancers. Unfortunately, supporting evidence has lagged behind this enthusiasm. Until recently, only non-randomised supporting data were available, suggesting that better than expected outcomes could be achieved with ablative treatments.
