Survival after Lung Metastasectomy from Esophageal Cancer: Results from a Multi-Institutional Database.

ABSTRACT: To clarify the clinical impact and to identify prognostic predictors of surgical intervention for pulmonary metastasis from esophageal cancer, a registry database analysis was performed. From January 2000 to March 2020, patients who underwent resection of pulmonary metastases from primary esophageal cancer at 18 institutions were registered in a database developed by the Metastatic Lung Tumor Study Group of Japan. An amount of 109 cases were reviewed and examined for the prognostic factors for pulmonary metastasectomy of metastases from esophageal cancer. As a result, five-year overall survival after pulmonary metastasectomy was 34.4% and five-year disease-free survival was 22.1%. The multivariate analysis for overall survival revealed that initial recurrence site, maximum tumor size, and
