Abstract

The ability of malignant tumors to metastasize remains a major obstacle to curative treatment for cancer. If the tumor process is generalized, systemic therapy is necessary to benefit from surgery. numerous retrospective studies have demonstrated that surgical removal of metastases limited to the lungs may prolong survival of cancer patients. This article describes the state of treatment of pulmonary metastatic disease. Different surgical approaches including single-stage unilateral or bilateral surgery, lymph node dissection, and repeated surgical interventions are discussed. The treatment of pulmonary metastases from bone and soft tissue sarcomas is discussed separately.
