Does complete resection of pulmonary metastases improve survival in patients with soft tissue sarcoma?
Complete resection of pulmonary metastases from soft tissue sarcomas yields a 5-year overall survival of 38%, suggesting it should be considered standard therapy when complete resection is predicted.

May support metastasectomy in selected patients; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of survival benefit.
Ceel et al. (1994) conducted a cohort in Pulmonary metastases from soft tissue sarcomas (n=87). Complete surgical resection was evaluated on 5-year overall survival. Complete surgical resection of pulmonary metastases from soft tissue sarcomas yielded a 5-year overall survival of 38% and a disease-free survival of 41%.
