Pulmonary resection for metastatic colorectal cancer

We reviewed the clinical courses of 25 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for metastatic lesions from colorectal cancer between January 1991 and December 2001. The cumulative survivals at 3 and 5 years were 72% and 63%, respectively. Sex, site of the primary tumor, presence of extrapulmonary metastases, disease-free interval, location of pulmonary metastases (PM), number of PM, size of PM, mode of operation, pre-thoracotomy serum carcinoembryonic antigen level, and post-thoracotomy chemotherapy were not found to be statistically significant prognostic factors. Age (70 years < or =) was a predictor of a shorter survival duration by univariate analysis (p = 0.02). Recurrence was observed in 19 patients, 11 of which were lung recurrences. Eight patients underwent repeated pulmonary resection. The median survival in these 8 patients was 23 months after second pulmonary operation. Surgical treatment for pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer in selected patients might improve prognosis.
