Abstract
With tremendous strides in loco regional and systemic therapy many cancer patients present with limited metastatic disease. Just like the precedence of surgical metatstatectomy providing significant numbers of long term survivors, other evolving locoregional therapies can potentially achieve similar results, particularly when surgery is not an option or undesirable. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is becoming an increasingly valuable tool in the armamentarium against oligometastatic cancer. Future clinical trials are needed to solidify its role in the setting of systemic, targeted, immune and biological therapies.
