In patients with metastatic deposits amenable to surgical resection, metastasectomy stands as a promising avenue. Metastatic-directed radiotherapy has demonstrated local control and improved survival in the evolving landscape of oligometastatic bladder cancer management. Further, well designed multicenter prospective studies are needed to support these findings and better understand the synergy between radiotherapy and systemic treatments, especially immunotherapy.
