Progress in Surgery for Pulmonary Metastases / 中国肺癌杂志

ABSTRACT

Lung is the most common metastatic site for tumors other than the liver. Pulmonary metastasectomy is also one of the common operations in thoracic surgery. However, the effect of pulmonary metastasectomy is controversial. As far as the current experience is concerned, patients with pulmonary metastases with long disease free interval, low-grade malignant tumor and complete excision have the greatest benefit from metastasectomy. This review is about the progress of surgical treatment of pulmonary metastases.
