Issue Date: | 2020 | Journal: | Translational Cancer Research | Abstract: | Breast cancer (BC) is the principal cause of cancer-related death in women. Metastatic patients are usually treated with a systemic therapy, but clinical results are limited. Oligometastatic subjects can benefit from high-precision radiotherapy techniques to potentially achieve a complete response. Currently, there is limited evidence of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) treatments in elderly oligometastatic cancer patients. A review of the medical literature was performed in PubMed database to assess the current role of SABR in the treatment of breast oligometastases in elderly patients. SABR represents a feasible and safe therapeutic approach in oligometastatic elderly BC patients. Further studies are required to establish the optimum patient selection and treatment scheme. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/70317 | ISSN: | 2218-676X | DOI: | 10.21037/tcr.2019.08.29 | Source: | Translational Cancer Research [ISSN 2218-676X], v. 9, p.
