Read our Breast Cancer research guide →Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
This trial is testing whether adding local treatments—like surgery, radiation therapy, or radiofrequency ablation—to standard systemic therapy can help women with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites (oligometastatic disease). The study compares two approaches: continuing standard therapy alone, or combining standard therapy with local treatment targeted at the areas where cancer has spread. The goal is to see if treating these specific spots directly can improve long-term outcomes.
For patients whose cancer has spread to only a few sites but remains controlled on standard therapy, it's unclear whether adding local treatment to those specific spots offers a real benefit. This trial aims to answer that question and help doctors decide the best approach for patients in this situation.

If you enroll, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one that continues standard systemic therapy alone, or one that receives systemic therapy plus local treatment (surgery, radiation, or ablation) targeted at your cancer sites. Your doctors will work with you to determine which local treatment approach is best for your situation. You will have regular follow-up visits to monitor how well the treatment is working and watch for side effects.
