    Abstract Purpose: Nearly one-third of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) will ultimately develop metastatic disease. While a small percentage of patients can be considered for curative resection, more patients have limited disease that can be considered for local therapy. Challenges remain in defining oligometastatic CRC as well as developing treatment strategies guided by high level evidence.
    Methods: In this review, we present the challenges in defining oligometastatic CRC and summarize the current literature on treatment and outcomes of local therapy in patients with metastatic CRC.
    Results: For patients with liver- and/or lung-confined CRC metastases, surgical resection is the standard of care given the potential for long-term progression-free and overall survival. For patients with liver- or lung-confined disease not amenable to surgical resection, non-surgical local therapies, such as thermal ablation, hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP), or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), should be considered. For patients with more advanced disease, such as lymph node or bony metastases, the role of metastasis-directed therapy is controversial. Emerging data suggests that SBRT to ablate all metastases can improve progression-free and overall survival.
    Conclusion: Multidisciplinary management is critical for patients with metastatic CRC due to the complexity of their cases and the nuanced patient, tumor, biological, and anatomical factors that must be weighed when considering local therapy. High-quality prospective randomized data in CRC are needed to further clarify the role of local ablative therapy in patients with unresectable oligometastatic CRC with ongoing studies including the RESOLUTE trial (ACTRN12621001198819) and the upcoming NCTN ERASur trial (NCT05673148).

    Abstract Curative intent surgical resection of colorectal metastases to the liver and lungs in eligible patients results in improved disease control and prolonged overall survival with the potential for cure in a subset of patients. Additional ablative and local therapies for use in the liver, lungs, and other body sites have been developed with emerging data on the utility and toxicity of these treatments. Future studies should focus on identification of appropriate candidates for treatment and determining the optimal modality and timing of treatment accounting for both patient and disease factors.

    Abstract Technological advances have enabled well tolerated and effective radiation treatment for small liver metastases. Stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) refers to ablative dose delivery (>100 Gy BED) in five fractions or fewer. For larger tumors, the safe delivery of SABR can be challenging due to a more limited volume of healthy normal liver parenchyma and the proximity of the tumor to radiosensitive organs such as the stomach, duodenum, and large intestine. In addition to stereotactic treatment delivery, controlling respiratory motion, the use of image guidance, adaptive planning and increasing the number of radiation fractions are sometimes necessary for the safe delivery of SABR in these situations. Magnetic Resonance (MR) image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (MRgART) is a new and rapidly evolving treatment paradigm. MR imaging before, during and after treatment delivery facilitates direct visualization of both the tumor target and the adjacent normal healthy organs as well as potential intrafraction motion. Real time MR imaging facilitates non-invasive tumor tracking and treatment gating. While daily adaptive re-planning permits treatment plans to be adjusted based on the anatomy of the day. MRgART therapy is a promising radiation technology advance that can overcome many of the challenges of liver SABR and may facilitate the safe tumor dose escalation of colorectal liver metastases.

    Abstract Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) commonly is used for small liver metastases. Modern conformal radiotherapy techniques, including 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy, enable the safe delivery of SABR to small liver volumes. For larger tumors, the safe delivery of SABR can be challenging due to a more limited volume of healthy normal liver parenchyma and the proximity of the tumor to radiosensitive organs, such as the stomach, duodenum, and large intestine. Controlling respiratory motion, the use of image guidance, and increasing the number of radiation fractions sometimes are necessary for the safe delivery of SABR in these situations.

    Series title Immuno-Oncology and Interventional Oncology
    Abstract Evasion of immune recognition is a hallmark of cancer that facilitates tumorigenesis, maintenance, and progression. Systemic immune activation can incite tumor recognition and stimulate potent antitumor responses. While the concept of antitumor immunity is not new, there is renewed interest in tumor immunology given the clinical success of immune modulators in a wide range of cancer subtypes over the past decade. One particularly interesting, yet exceedingly rare phenomenon, is the abscopal response, characterized by a potent systemic antitumor response following localized tumor irradiation presumably attributed to reactivation of antitumor immunity.
