Although uncommon, a small number of patients with radiographically evident and/or biopsy-proven metastatic breast cancer are alive and disease-free more than 10 years following cytotoxic systemic therapy alone. This realization that a long-term disease-free interval and potential cure was possible in breast cancer and other diseases led to the idea that not all patients with metastatic disease have the same clinical course. Mounting data suggests that patients with few (usually <5) radiographically visible tumors have the potential to be cured through local ablative therapy of visible metastases, often in combination with systemic therapy.
