Pulmonary metastasectomy of renal cell carcinoma: Local experience

Pulmonary metastasectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is seldom resectable due to advanced status. Even though hepatectomy is feasible, a large proportional of patients may still develops extrahepatic recurrence. Pulmonary metastasis is the most common site of extrahepatic spread. Few articles have discussed the benefit of resection for lung metastasis after curative hepatectomy. We evaluated the general i...

Late local and pulmonary recurrence of renal cell carcinoma.

Locally recurrent renal cell carcinoma and multiple pulmonary metastases were successfully resected in a patient 20 years after nephrectomy.

Lung Metastasectomy for Pulmonary Metastatic Breast Carcinoma.

Breast carcinoma with pulmonary metastasis can be treated locally or systemically. Following primary tumour resection patients with isolated, completely resectable pulmonary nodules and definite functional operability can be offered lung metastasis resection. Following metastasectomy a median survival of 32 to 96.6 months can be achieved with corresponding five-year survival rates between 30.8 ...

Sarcomatoid Transrormation of Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma

Pulmonary resection of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Between 1965 and 1989, 96 consecutive patients (64 men and 32 women) underwent complete pulmonary resection for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Median age was 63 years (range, 33 to 82 years). Median time between nephrectomy and pulmonary resection was 3.4 years (range, 0 to 18.4 years). Forty-eight patients had solitary metastasis, 16 had two, 18 had three, and 14 had more than three.
