Surgical resection of hepatic and pulmonary metastases from colorectal carcinoma.
Patients with hepatic and pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) may benefit from aggressive surgical therapy. We examined the longterm outcomes of patients who underwent both lung and liver resections for colorectal metastases over a 10-year period. ⋯ An aggressive multidisciplinary surgical approach should be undertaken for recurrent CRC metastases. In selected patients, serial metastasectomy for recurrent metastatic disease is safe and results in excellent longterm survival after CRC resection.
