Retrospective analysis explores survival outcomes after pulmonary metastasectomy in sarcoma, highlighting surgical techniques for better recovery.

This study aims to assess the survival outcomes of patients with soft tissue sarcoma after surgical resection of pulmonary metastases.
Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing lobar or sublobar resections for pulmonary metastases at National Taiwan University Hospital from February 2007 to December 2020.
Evaluation of overall survival rates and associated factors such as disease-free intervals and local recurrence.
Most surgeries performed using minimally invasive techniques (VATS).
The overall 5-year survival rate among 110 patients was 62.9%, higher than previous reports of 15%-50.9%.
A disease-free interval of more than 12 months and local recurrence at the time of resection are linked to improved overall survival.
Minimally invasive surgery resulted in shorter hospital stays and better postoperative recovery.

Chang et al. (2024) studied this question.
