Abstract

Lung is the most common metastatic site for tumors other than the liver. Pulmonary metastasectomy is also one of the common operations in thoracic surgery. However, the effect of pulmonary metastasectomy is controversial. As far as the current experience is concerned, patients with pulmonary metastases with long disease free interval, low-grade malignant tumor and complete excision have the greatest benefit from metastasectomy. This review is about the progress of surgical treatment of pulmonary metastases. .

【中文题目:肺转移瘤的外科治疗进展】 【中文摘要:肺是除肝脏以外肿瘤最常见的转移部位,肺转移瘤切除术也是目前胸外科常规手术之一。然而肺转移瘤切除术的临床效果尚存争议,但就目前的临床经验,无瘤间隔时间长、原发肿瘤恶性程度低、转移瘤可被完全切除的肺转移瘤患者行肺转移瘤切术获益最大。本文就肺转移瘤的外科治疗进展进行综述回顾。 】 【中文关键词:肺肿瘤;肺转移瘤;外科治疗】.
