Pulmonary metastasectomy and repeat metastasectomy for colorectal pulmonary metastases: outcomes from the Dutch Lung Cancer Audit for Surgery

Abstract

This study demonstrates that patients with colorectal pulmonary metastases have comparable median and 5-year overall survival rates after primary or recurrent pulmonary metastasectomy. However, repeat metastasectomy has a higher risk of postoperative complications.
