| Core Tip |
Preventing the recurrence of lung oligometastases from colorectal cancer after local therapy is crucial. Recent evidence demonstrated that capecitabine maintenance after radiofrequency ablation significantly increased 5-year overall survival and reduced 5-year local tumor progression rates compared with radiofrequency ablation alone. This synergistic approach proactively targets micrometastatic disease. Despite the retrospective nature of the study, its robust results support the confirmation of systemic maintenance with local ablation in prospective randomized controlled trials. |
