Background: Even in oligometastatic stage 4 disease, survival rates are higher when curative approaches focus on both the primary tumour and metastasis. So, we aim to analyse our results of oligometastatic disease retrospectively.
Methods: In total, data on 52 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with limited metastasis (one to three synchronous/metachronous) were retrospectively analysed.
