Long-term results of surgical resection for pulmonary metastasis from renal cell carcinoma: a 25-year single-institution experience

Abstract

The results showed that (1) surgical resection of pulmonary metastasis from RCC has a favourable outcome in selected patients, (2) DFI and completeness of resection are prognostic markers for survival after pulmonary metastasectomy and (3) repeat lung resection for metastatic RCC is a safe procedure that provides satisfactory patient outcomes.
