Figure 2 Long-term survival (LTS) (A) and local disease-free survival (L-DFS) (B) according with the completeness of resection. Long-term survival (C) and distant disease-free survival (D-DFS) (D) according to the presence of a weight loss (>10% in the last 6 months before treatment).

Figure 3 Prognostic factors after multimodal treatment for oligometastatic; pathologic N status (A) and adjuvant therapy (B) are related to local disease-free survival (L-DFS) whereas the choice of surgical resection of the distant metastases (C) and the execution of whole brain radiation (D) seem to significantly influence the distant disease-free survival (D-DFS).
