BACKGROUND: Surgical resection has been widely performed on @entity1 with pulmonary metastases from @entity14 with favorable outcomes. However, there are currently no standard surgical indications for pulmonary metastases. METHODS: We reviewed 94 @entity1 who underwent complete resection of pulmonary metastases from @entity14 between November 1991 and April 2013. The cumulative survival rate after pulmonary metastasectomy was calculated, and prognostic factors for long-term survival were analyzed. RESULTS: There were 60 @entity1 and 34 @entity1 , and their median age was 66 years. The 5-year survival rate was 45.5% after pulmonary metastasectomy. The 5-year survival of @entity1 with @entity694 was 62.4% and 33.8%, respectively (p  = 0.030), and the 5-year survival of those with normal and high @entity787 ( @entity787 ) levels before pulmonary resection was 57.0% and 30.9%, respectively (p  = 0.038). Multivariate analysis revealed the preoperative @entity787 level was an independent prognostic factor. Recurrence was identified in 65 of the 94 @entity1 (69.1%) after pulmonary metastasectomy, and the @entity1 who underwent surgical resection for recurrent lesions in the liver or lungs, or both, had better survival than those who received other treatments or palliative care. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical resection offers a chance to prolong survival in @entity14 @entity1 with resectable pulmonary metastases. Owing to the high recurrence rate, careful postoperative follow-up for early detection is recommended, and even for recurrence, surgical resection should be considered for better survival if the lesions are limited to the liver or lungs, or both.
