Outcomes and prognostic factors of repeat pulmonary metastasectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Information on prognostic factors after repeat pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is limited, and outcomes after a third PM are not well documented.

Methods

A single-institute retrospective study was conducted. Between 2000 and 2020, 68 patients underwent repeat PM for pulmonary metastases from various cancers. Outcomes and prognostic factors for the second PM and outcomes after the third PM were analysed.

Results

This study included 39 men and 29 women. The mean age at second PM was 53.2 years old. The primary tumours were soft tissue sarcoma in 24 patients, colorectal cancer in 19 and osteosarcoma in 10. The interval between the first PM procedure and detection of pulmonary metastasis after the first PM (months) was ≤12 in 37 patients and >12 in 31 patients. A
