Outline of Final Research Achievements

"Establishment of Standards of Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Oligometastases" was studied. Type and condition of the targeted cancer were as follows: 1. lung oligometastases, 2. stereotactic irradiation for non-small cell lung cancer oligometastases, 3. (chemical) radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma lymph node oligo-recurrence. As a result, oligometastases can be divided into oligo-recurrence and sync-oligometastases, but at present it is suggested that oligo-recurrence aims to cure and that sync-oligometastases should aim for long-term survival.
