ABSTRACT
The therapeutic results of pulmonary resection for metastatic bone and soft tissue sarcomas were analyzed. From 1986 to 1996, 14 patients(11 male and 3 female) underwent 15 pulmonary resections for metastatic sarcomas. One(7.1%) patient had 2 thoracotomies for recurrences. The number of metastatic tumors were from one to five. The primary malignant tumors were from bone in 4 and from soft tissues in 10. Mean survival time after thoracotomy was 29.2 months, and Kaplan-Meier's 5-year survival rate from the first metastasectomy was 33.2%. Three patients who had the tumor free interval period over 3 years were alive(mean survival period 52.6 months), whereas eleven patients of the less than 3 years were dead with disease(mean survival period 17.3 months). These results suggested that pulmonary metastasectomy in bone and soft tissue sarcoma may prolong the survival rate.
