Influence of brain metastases on the classification, treatment, and outcome of patients with extracranial oligometastasis: a single-center cross-sectional analysis
In patients with brain metastases, a low total tumor burden with an oligometastatic disease state remained a significant prognostic factor for overall survival. Presence of brain metastases should therefore not serve as exclusion criterion for clinical trials in the field of oligometastatic disease. Moreover, it underscores the importance of considering a multimodality treatment strategy in oligometastatic cancer patients.
