Aim

The lungs represent the second most common site of colorectal cancer metastases. Although surgery is commonly considered the best treatment, many other invasive and noninvasive procedures and treatments have been adopted to improve patient survival and there is no clear evidence in the literature of which is the more effective. The aim of this work was to identify which treatment confers the best gain in overall survival for patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.

Method

A systematic review and network meta-analysis of survival hazard ratio (HR) including 11 studies was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane protocol on PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library up to 31 December 2023. Surgery, image-guided thermoab
