There is no clear consensus regarding the treatment of oligometastatic HNSCC, whether it being local treatment, systemic treatment or a combination of both. We put together a systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method to gather all pertinent articles approaching the therapeutic management of oligometastatic HNSCC, especially in the metachronous setting. Out of 344 articles, 21 articles fit our inclusion criteria and were deemed pertinent to help answer the question of our review. Eight studies included only head and neck cancers (HNC) and the other 13 tackled multiple histologies including HNC. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) was the treatment of choice for oligometastatic HNSCC with good local control rates and manageable toxicity. Most included studies were retrospective and not randomized. The association of local treatment and systemic treatment was difficult to assess as treatment protocols were not always standardized.

Monocyte-derived macrophages (moMΦ) differentiated by CM from H413 cells (H413-CM) were also unable to activate allogeneic T cells, and inhibited T cell activation and proliferation induced by CD3/CD28 stimulation.

Differential proteomic analyses on H413-CM fractions revealed the presence of several proteins, including the complement factor H or plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, as potential candidates to induce CD163<sup>+</sup>CD206<sup>+</sup> moMΦ differentiation. Finally, RNAseq transcriptomic analyses of H413-CM conditioned moMΦ, identified a expression profile signature involving cytokines and cytokine receptors, which surprisingly included <em>IL2RA</em> (encoding CD25).
