About this trial
This is a multicentre, randomised, phase III trial comparing the efficacy and toxicity of standard 1st line systemic therapy for breast cancer (BC) patients with or without the addition of stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) to all the oligometastatic sites. Oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) is defined as the presence of 1-5 metastasis in up to 2 organs in the body.
Patient Profile
This study is for men and women over the age of 18 who have a histologically (tissue sample) or cytological (fluid sample) confirmed recurrent/de novo OMBC. OMBC is idefined as 1 – 5 metastases in a maximum of two organs. Patients already on 1st line systemic treatment can be enrolled if repeated tumour evaluations show stable disease.
