The presence of distant metastases has long been a predictor of poor outcome in solid cancer. However, in an oncologic situation called oligometastatic disease (OMD), multiple studies have revealed a survival benefit with aggressive treatment of these metastases. Besides surgery and radiation therapy, local thermal therapies have developed into a treatment option for OMD. Most studies concerning local therapy of OMD are available for colorectal cancer, which is therefore the focus of this article. Furthermore, this review gives a basic overview of the most popular ablation techniques for treatment of OMD.
