I have offered to two patients, both of whom had non-regional lymph node disease extending down the retroperitoneum making them M1, who had no evidence of progression after a few months of multiagent chemotherapy. I would continue to consider in that clinical scenario, treating as a definitive case ...

I have treated in a related scenario before. The patient had a brain-only oligometastasis which we treated with radiosurgery, and then we performed definitive chemo-radiation for the primary esophageal adenocarcinoma. I think the chemo-RT was done after he got induction chemo with FLOT, and he had n...
