Preoperative evaluation and indications for pulmonary metastasectomy

Abstract: Pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is an established treatment that can provide improved longterm survival for patients with metastatic tumor(s) in the lung. In the current era, where treatment options other than PM such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), immunotherapy, and molecular-targeted therapy are available, thoracic surgeons should review the approach to the preoperative evaluation and the indications. Preoperative evaluation consists of history and physical examinations, physiological tests, an… Show more

“…Additionally, several prognostic factors associated with poor survival in patients with metastatic CRC have been described. These include short DFI, multiple pulmonary metastases, involvement of hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes, elevated CEA before metastasectomy, tumor size, patients older than 70 years, extrapulmonary metastatic lesions treated before pulmonary metastasectomy, synchronous presentation, advanced primary tumor stage and rectum localization ( 3 , 5 , 6 , 13 ).…”

“…General indications for pulmonary metastasectomy also apply for metastasectomy in CRC. These include adequate cardiopulmonary reserve that allows resection, controlled primary tumor, completely resectable lung metastases, no other effective treatment other than resection, and no extrapulmonary metastatic disease, or if present, controllable by surgery or other local therapy ( 3 ). Pulmonary metastasectomy has been generally accepted as a potentially curative option in the management of metastatic CRC.…”

“…Adenoidzystische Karzinome haben dabei eine bessere Prognose im Vergleich zu Plattenepithelkarzinomen [ 16 ]. Ein hohes Patient:innenalter und Lokalrezidive vor Auftreten von Lungenmetastasen sind Faktoren, die mit einer schlechteren Prognose und einem schlechteren Gesamtüberleben einhergehen [ 17 , 18 ].…”

“…Adenoid cystic carcinomas have been associated with a better prognosis compared to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (50). Furthermore, old age and the occurrence of local recurrence before lung metastases have been reported as factors associated to a worse prognosis and poor overall survival (51).…”
