Does pulmonary metastasectomy improve long-term survival in patients with soft tissue sarcomas and pulmonary metastases?
Patients with soft tissue sarcomas and pulmonary metastases
Pulmonary metastasectomy (complete resection of metastatic lesions)
Long-term survivalhard clinical
Complete resection of pulmonary metastases in soft tissue sarcoma patients is associated with long-term survival and potential cure, particularly when R0 resection is highly probable and the disease-free interval is at least 12 months.
Complete resection of the metastatic lesions seems to be the most effective treatment for long-term survival, or even achieving cure in selected patients. At selection of the patients amenable for surgery, a high probability of R0 resection, as well as a disease free period of at least 12 months should perhaps bear a higher specific value.
