Pulmonary metastasectomy in bone and soft tissue sarcoma with metastasis to the lung.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study investigated the outcomes of sarcoma patients with lung metastases who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy (PM), compared to patients who underwent medical management alone. The secondary objective was to compare survival after PM between variables of interest.

Methods

This was a retrospective review of 565 sarcoma patients with confirmed, isolated pulmonary metastasis identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database between 2010 and 2015. 1:4 propensity score matching was used to select PM and non-PM groups. The multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyse prognostic factors of disease-free survival (DFS).

Results

Of the eligible 565 patients, 59 PM patients were matched to 202 non-PM patients in a final
