Currently, there are two primary indications for local treatments in metastatic disease. The most widely accepted approach is to treat the entire metastatic burden with curative intent. However, with the advent of new therapeutic options—such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and antiangiogenics—there is increasing potential to treat metastases that show a dissociated or disproportionate response to systemic therapies, with the goal of preserving future treatment options. The prognosis for metastatic patients is closely linked to the nature of the primary tumor. For instance, germ cell tumors generally have a better prognosis than epithelial carcinomas, which in turn are more favorable than sarcomas or melanomas. While many other prognostic factors have been identified, those related to the disease’s characteristics and progression are most critical for guiding treatment decisions and patient selection.
Primary lung ca
Non-surgical non-stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) candidates due to medical comorbidities
Metastases
Oligometastatic disease in size and number [generally accepted as less than 5 metastases as three or fewer sites] and amenable to local treatment
Other
Lack of effective systemic therapy
Desire to interrupt systemic therapy (i.e., for a chemotherapy “holiday”)
Presence of multiple metastases with only a subset showing progression (oligoprogression)
Central location that would require lobectomy or pneumonectomy for a small lung tumor
Exhausted surgical resection options
Exhausted radiation therapy options
Expected higher morbidity or worse local control with surgery or SBRT
Patient preference.
Local recurrence
Percutaneous thermal ablation is an excellent treatment option for local recurrence
Cryoablation is highly effective for treating chest wall and pleural tumors with minimal morbidity and has been shown to reduce pain within hours
