Local Therapy for ER/PR-positive Oligometastatic Breast Cancer

Patients with estrogen receptor/ progesterone receptor-positive oligometastatic breast cancer with disease controlled after at least six months of systemic therapy will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomized to receive local therapy for oligometastatic sites in addition to systemic therapy or systemic therapy alone. Local therapy strategies will include surgery, radiotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation.

Inclusion criteria

• Oligometastatic sites amenable to treatment with a local therapy modality, including surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy, or radiofrequency ablation
• Estrogen receptor-positive and/ or progesterone receptor-positive breast cancer
• Partial response or stable disease after at least six months of systemic therapy for breast cancer
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1

• For women in childbearing age, negative pregnancy test until 21 days before the date of study enrollment.
• Signed informed consent form
• Disposition and aptitude to fulfill the study protocol during the study duration

Exclusion criteria

• HER2-positive breast cancer
