Role of major resection in pulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal cancer in the Spanish Prospective Multicenter Study (GECMP-CCR)

Patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) may benefit from aggressive surgical therapy. The objective of this study was to determine the role of major anatomic resection for pulmonary metastasectomy to improve survival as compared to limited pulmonary resection. Major anatomic resection with lymphadenectomy for pulmonary metastasectomy can be considered in selected CRC patient with sufficient functional reserve to improve the DSS and DFS. Further prospective randomized studies are needed to confirm the present results.
