Abstract: Pulmonary metastasectomy has become the standard therapy for various metastatic malignancies to the lungs; however, few data have been available regarding lung metastasectomy for esophageal carcinoma. To confirm a role for resection of pulmonary metastases for such tumors, we reviewed our institutional experience. Between 2001 and 2007, five patients with pulmonary metastases from esophageal carcinoma underwent complete pulmonary resection. All patients had undergone curative resection of their primary esophag… Show more

“…However, some reports have described the benefits of surgical treatment for pulmonary metastasis from esophageal cancer. 17,18 In these reports, patients with solitary pulmonary metastasis and no extrapulmonary metastasis were good candidates for pulmonary resection. In the case reported here, solitary pulmonary metastasis was detected and the patient's systemic condition was stable enough to withstand surgical intervention.…”

“…Thirty-one patients (35.6 %) live without progression of the disease after resection of metastases, and the median DFI is 15 months (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). In total, 34 % and 28 % of patients survived without any signs of relapse or progression of the disease for three years and 5 years, respectively (Fig.…”

“…malignant melanoma, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, etc.) the authors actually do not arrive at consensus because some of them do not recommend metastasectomies of multiple metastases of these tumors due to poor prognosis, especially with short DFI from the surgery of primary tumor, while the other part of authors prefer a more radical approach of indicating surgery regardless of DFI and number of metastases (10,11,12,13,14). The cases which include metastasectomies of synchronous metastases and elevation of oncological markers are considered as arguable by some authors because of a quite poor prognosis (14,15).…”

“…Some investigators have reported the benefit of surgical resection for pulmonary metastasis of SCC in the esophagus. [16][17][18] Ichikawa, et al retrospectively analyzed 23 resected cases of metachronous pulmonary metastasis from esophageal SCC and reported that operative intervention is acceptable, except in cases with antecedent extrapulmonary metastasis because of its unfavorable prognosis. In our case, we decided to perform surgical resection because it was a solitary metastasis and was refractory to chemotherapy.…”
