ESSO 43 | Challenges in defining oligometastatic disease and considerations for aggressive surgical treatments

Mitsuru Sasako, MD, PhD, Yodogawa Christian Hospital, Osaka, Japan, discusses the challenges of defining and categorizing oligometastatic disease, emphasizing the difficulty in randomizing patients due to their individual differences. He highlights that in clinical studies, limiting candidates is necessary, but for exceptional responders, aggressive treatment options, such as surgical resection, may still be considered.
