ABSTRACT
Lung is the most common metastatic site of head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Systemic chemotherapy is still the standard treatment for metastatic HNSCC patients, and the prognosis is poor. Pulmonary metastasectomy has been regarded as the stardard treatment modality for selected pulmonary metastases from certain cancers including colorectal cancer and sarcoma. However, present studies about pulmonary metastasectomy for metastatic HNSCC are retrospective and no consensus has been reached on the value of pulmonary metastasectomy. This review focuses on the efficiency, indication, operative mode and method and the prognostic factors of pulmonary metastasectomy for pulmonary metastases from HNSCC. The limitations of current studies and the challenges and perspectives of pulmonary metastasectomy are also discussed.
