Apply an Oligometastatic Paradigm for Nodal Recurrence

Contemporary data show that patients with nodal involvement have potential for long-term survival (1, 2) and that radiation is associated with improved survival (3, 4). With new imaging techniques allowing accurate identification of sites of involvement, there is enthusiasm for potentially altering outcomes for oligometastatic disease (5). For this specific scenario, a small series albeit with limited follow-up suggests potential for positive outcomes (6); otherwise, the management of oligo-recurrent disease is an area of active clinical investigation (7).
