TY - JOUR AU - Bilancia, Rocco AU - Nardini, Marco AU - Waller, David PY - 2017 TI - Pulmonary metastasectomy in uterine malignancy: outcomes and prognostic factors JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 9, Supplement 12 (October 13, 2017): Journal of Thoracic Disease (Pulmonary Metastasectomy) Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - etastatic uterine cancer is a form of systemic disease. As for other solid tumours, it is advocated by some authors that in selected patients, lung metastasectomy may play a role in long-term disease control. The practice of lung metastasectomy is however open to criticism as there is lack of convincing evidence, and over-encouraging outcomes may be attributed to intrinsic selection bias. The case of metastatic uterine tumours is reviewed in the light of the available literature, in order to identify common patterns and prognostic factors that may influence and determine an individualised and informed patient decision.
