Purpose: The value of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with oligometastatic head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains unclear, as existing evidence is primarily derived from retrospective single-center analyses with small patient cohorts. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of pulmonary SBRT in patients with oligometastatic HNSCC and to identify factors associated with survival.
Methods: This trinational multicenter cohort study, including 16 centers from XXX, XXX, and XXX, retrospectively analyzed patients with oligometastatic HNSCC undergoing SBRT for pulmonary metastases between 2010 and 2023.
