What?!? "Curing" oligometastatic prostate cancer???

Since oligometastatic suggests a very limited spread that is open to targeting, it doesn’t surprise me that the word cure is used. When I asked my radiation oncologist, what cure meant in medical terms for her she responded with, cured for today.
Until I heard that answer from her, as a layman, I thought I would not have to worry about it again.

My post liver disease is considered SVR, sustained virologic response. They don't use cured.
