- Although, there is consensus on local, locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer therapy, there is no consensus on oligometastatic (≤ 3 metastasis) prostate cancer treatment. Active follow-up is an effective treatment option in asymptomatic cases. It has been reported in various retrospective studies that regional treatment may be effective even though there is a systemic spread in the presence of isolated bone metastasis. It has been shown that biochemical and clinical relapse free survival is better with local treatment in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer. The treatment decision for patients with asymptomatic, oligometastatic prostate cancer with isolated bone metastasis should be taken patient-based. In this report, we aimed to present a case supporting the recent data about the use of aggressive local treatment in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer.
