The Emerging Role of Radiotherapy in Oligoprogressive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Oligoprogressive disease (OPD) is an emerging concept that describes patients who have progression of disease in a limited number of metastatic sites while on systemic therapy. Growing evidence has suggested the integration of local ablative therapy with systemic agents in patients with OPD further improves survival. In oligoprogressive non-small cell lung cancer, stereotactic body radiotherapy may have an important role in the effective local control of selective progressing metastases, which may translate to better patient outcomes. This review explores the treatment paradigm of this subset of patients and provides an update on the current existing literature on this topic.
