Survival and prognostic factors of isolated pulmonary metastases originating from colorectal cancer: An 8-year single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Isolated pulmonary metastasis (IPM) is a rare entity that accounts for 10% of pulmonary metastases seen in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aims to evaluate the overall 5-year survival of IPM originating from CRC and identify potential prognostic factors affecting the overall survival (OS).

Methods

A retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary care center. The study included all patients diagnosed with CRC aged 18-75 years who underwent primary tumor resection with curative intent between 2008 and 2015, and developed IPM. Patients with no follow-up and those with extra-pulmonary metastases were excluded.

Results

The prevalence of IPM in the overall CRC cases was 4.18% (20/478 patients). The mean age of patients with IPM was 52.7 ± 12.9 years. Ten
