Surgical treatment of hepatic and pulmonary metastases from non-colorectal and non-neuroendocrine carcinoma Buchler P; Pfannschmidt J; Rudek B; Dienemann H; Lehnert TScand J Surg 2002[]; 91 (2): 147-54BACKGROUND: Surgical resection is standard treatment for colorectal and neuroendocrine liver metases provided the tumor can be removed completely. The same is true for isolated pulmonary metastases. To date, only few reports have addressed the value of surgical resection of organ metastases from other solid tumors. METHODS: The literature was searched by Medline, conference proceedings and cross-referencing of published articles for information pertaining to the long-term results of surgical treatment of non-colorectal and non-neuroendocrine (NCNN) liver or lung metastases. RESULTS: Resection of hepatic and pulmonary metastases is increasingly performed in non-colorectal and non-neuroendocrine malignancies. Mortality and morbidity of hepatic and pulmonary resection are low and 5 year survival can be expected to reach some 20-30 percent, irrespective of the histological type of the primary tumor. CONCLUSION: Resection of hepatic or pulmonary metastasis should be considered in all patients with low operative risk provided that complete resection is possible.|Humans[MESH]|Liver Neoplasms/*secondary/*surgery[MESH]|Lung Neoplasms/*secondary/*surgery[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Survival Rate[MESH] |
