Prognostic Impact of Pulmonary Metastasectomy for Uterine Malignancies: A Retrospective Analysis of 38 Cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uterine malignancies frequently metastasize to the lungs. Pulmonary metastasectomy has demonstrated survival benefits in some malignancies; however, its efficacy for uterine malignancies remains unclear.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 38 patients who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy for uterine malignancies at the Kanagawa Cancer Center between 2010 and 2020. The primary endpoint was recurrence-free survival (RFS) after pulmonary resection.

Results

The median patient age was 63 years. The primary sites were the cervical uteri (n = 22) and corpus uteri (n = 16). The FIGO stages at the time of treatment for the primary tumor were I, II, III, IV, and unknown in 20, 7, 9, 1, and 1 patient, respectively. The median disease-free interval (DFI
