Extrapulmonary metastases impact survival outcomes of thermal ablation for colorectal lung oligometastases: A multicenter study
Metastatic patterns significantly influence PFS and OS, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection. Notably, patients with liver-only extrapulmonary metastasis demonstrate comparatively favorable outcomes, suggesting a distinct biological behavior and better prognosis within this subgroup.
