We report on 86 cases (112 operations) who underwent surgery for metastatic @entity2 at our department during the last 10 years. The study subjects comprised 53 @entity1 and 33 @entity1 , and the average age was 51 (+/- 19) years. Of the 112 metastatectomies performed, 53 were conducted by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), and 59 were performed via thoracotomy. The procedures employed for metastatectomy were lobectomy (22 cases), segmentectomy (4 cases), and partial resection. wedge resection (86 cases). The primary origin of the @entity3 was @entity14 in 22 cases, @entity421 in 13 cases, @entity703 in 10 cases, and @entity0 in 6 cases. The 5-year survival rates in subjects undergoing first and second resection for pulmonary metastases were 46% and 44%. Metastatectomy was performed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 times in 73, 7, 1, 2, 2, 1 cases, respectively. The average number and maximum diameter of the metastatic @entity358 at first metastatectomy were 1.9 and 27.6 mm. Metastatectomy is performed, as a rule, by VATS at our department, because the more highly invasive thoracotomy procedure influences the activity of the @entity5 cells in a suspended phase in an unfavorable manner. Furthermore, we believe that to the maximum extent possible, re-metastatectomy should also be performed by VATS. The survival rates at our institution have been satisfactory, and we attribute this to our following strict indications for metastatectomy. Re-metastatectomy should always be considered, as the survival rates are as favorable as those following the first metastatectomy.
