This narrative review is based on historical literature and recently published data of the Omet trial. The Gortec 2014-04 Omet phase II randomized trial investigated whether genuine metachronous oligometastases in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, characterized by a limited number (up to three) of lesions not induced by prior systemic therapy, may benefit from a “de-escalation strategy” using curative-intent stereotactic ablative radiotherapy alone rather than strategies relying on systemic treatments upfront. Randomized phase II-III trials are scarce on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. In the Omet trial, survival at 1 year exceeded 85 % in both arms. Progression-free survival was, as anticipated, slightly longer in the group chemotherapy and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (10 months versus 7.5 months) but without deleterious impact upon metastatic relapse. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy alone showed significantly lower grade 3–4 toxicity (8.8 % versus 60 %). Quality of life declined less with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy alone. Poor prognostic factors included male sex and multiple metastases. Major protocol deviations correlated with worse outcomes. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy offers a viable, less toxic alternative to systemic therapy for genuine oligometastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, warranting refined patient selection and further research. Despite its role as a new standard-of-care, the role of immunotherapy remains uncertain in the oligometastatic setting and requires specific studies in oligometastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to challenge this new option.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9504,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Radiotherapie","volume":"29 5","pages":"Article 104675"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The central aim was to elevate the quality and safety standards in radiological procedures. This initiative arose from the understanding that consistent and rigorous clinical audit is fundamental for enhancing patient outcomes and adhering to safety regulations in cancer treatment using radiation. The project aimed to address the observed variations in how clinical audit was being applied across Europe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Material and methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The QuADRANT project employed a comprehensive methodology to gather data. This included an extensive review of existing literature, European regulations, and international guidelines pertinent to clinical audit in radiological procedures. National surveys were conducted, reaching out to representatives from European Union member states and other selected countries to collect information on national frameworks, methodologies, existing barriers, and facilitating factors. In-depth case studies, involving site visits and interviews with various stakeholders such as healthcare professionals and policymakers, provided deeper insights. Expert consultations with specialists in medical physics, radiation oncology, and quality assurance further enriched the data. Workshops were also held to engage national stakeholders in discussions about legal requirements, benefits, and good practices of clinical audit. The collected data was systematically analysed to identify key trends, common challenges, successful strategies, and areas ripe for improvement, leading to the formulation of evidence-based recommendations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The project observed significant variations in the adoption and maturity of clinical audit programs across European countries, even within individual nations. While some countries demonstrated well-established practices, particularly concerning dosimetry audits in radiotherapy, a widespread and comprehensive clinical audit program covering all radiological procedures was often lacking. Data collection for audit purposes was frequently inconsistent, with common deviations from standard practice noted in patient data registration, diagnosis, treatment details, and the recording of adverse events. Many countries reported limited financial and human resources allocated to clinical audit. A general lack of awareness among healthcare professionals regarding the specific requirements and benefits of clinical audit was also identified. Organizational culture sometimes presented resistance to systematic quality improvement initiatives.

Surgery has long been considered the standard of care for these tumours, offering excellent oncologic outcomes and allowing essential pathological staging. However, surgery may be indicated or poorly tolerated in certain populations, particularly elderly or medically inoperable patients. Stereotactic body radiotherapy has emerged as a non-invasive alternative with high local control rates and reduced early morbidity. This raises a critical question: should all patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer be managed surgically, or is there a role for treatment individualization? Current evidence highlights the need of balancing curative intent with treatment-related risks.

Adaptive radiotherapy aims to optimize the dose distribution, ensure that the tumour remains in the treatment volume and spare the organs at risk. Adaptive radiotherapy can be applied at three timescales: between fractions (offline), immediately before a fraction (online) or real-time (online, during a fraction). Over the last decade, manufacturers have developed linear accelerators dedicated to online adaptive radiotherapy, based on either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. These systems allow for treatment plan adaptation according to deformable, registration-based segmentation and physicist-driven plan optimization. This has led to a rapid rise of this technique on a larger scale, although robust data on its benefits remains scarce. Adaptive radiotherapy has demonstrated dosimetric benefits, such as improved lesion coverage and sparing of organs at risk, in various tumour sites. However, the clinical benefit, in terms of toxicity reduction or improved tumour control, remains to be demonstrated in many disease sites.
