Primary Breast Oligoprogressive Sites Treated With Radiotherapy to Obviate the Need to Change Systemic Therapy (BOSS)
This study assesses if metastasis-directed radiation therapy (Stereotactic body radiation therapy - SBRT) can delay a change in systemic therapy, and if circulating tumor cells in the bloodstream can help guide treatment options in metastatic breast cancer patients with progressive disease
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• Histological confirmation of primary breast cancer.
• Patients with metastatic breast cancer and at least 12 months of clinical response to first-line systemic therapy, with the subsequent development of 1-3 extracranial sites of oligoprogressive disease, and who plan for the continuation of the current systemic therapy.
⁃ NOTE: patients with de novo metastatic disease and those developed metastatic disease after initially localized disease can both be included.
