Oligometastatic gastroesophageal cancer is a clinical entity with no standard treatment recommendation. Treatment with curative intent has recently emerged as an option for selected patients in contrast to the traditional palliative treatment strategy. This prospective study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of combined systemic and local treatment with curative intent for patients with oligometastatic gastroesophageal cancer.

Methods

In a multicenter study, consecutive patients with gastroesophageal cancer and metastases in the liver and/or extra-regional lymph nodes were screened for inclusion. Eligible patients were offered curatively intended perioperative chemotherapy followed by surgical resection or liver ablation. Primary endpoints were treatment safety
