A call for the aggressive treatment of oligometastatic and oligo-recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carries a dismal prognosis. Clinical evidence suggests the existence of an intermediate, or oligometastatic, state when metastases are limited in number and/or location.
