Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Oligometastatic Recurrent Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study From a Single Tertiary Center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oligometastatic disease, characterized by a limited number of metastatic lesions, has gained significant attention for its potential to enable long-term survival with definitive local therapies. Esophageal cancer, an aggressive malignancy often diagnosed at advanced stages, carries a poor prognosis, particularly in cases involving distant metastasis. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as a promising local treatment modality for oligometastatic disease, offering precise high-dose radiation delivery. This study evaluated the outcomes of SBRT in patients with oligometastatic esophageal cancer.

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed 33 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent SBRT for all oligometastatic lesions at a single institution betw
