| Résumé : | The authors report on a personal series of 27 patients with pulmonary metastases; 17 were operated. 986 operated cases from the literature are also analyzed yielding the following notions. Where the primary tumor is controlled at the time of metastatic resection, when there is no systemic or mediastinal dissemination, and when the growth of metastases was slow, these secondary resections of lung metastases were followed by a 16 to 63% 5 yr survival rate. The authors conclude that it is necessary to evaluate the hypothesis that 5 to 10% of operated cancers present a second operative indication for cure, namely, slow growing metastases limited to the lungs. |
