ENGLISH SUMMARY
Pulmonary metastasectomy - a review on indications and outcome
Vidarsdottir H', Moller PH24, Gudbjartsson T3'4
In lceland every third individual is diagnosed with malignant disease;
cancer being the cause of death in one out of four individuals with only
cardiovascular diseases being more common cause of death. Approx-
imately one third of cancer patients are diagnosed with lung metastases
making the lungs one of the most common metastatic site. In some of
these patients a metastasectomy is a treatment option with the intention
of improving survival. In this evidence-based review, the indications and
outcome of pulmonary metastasectomy are discussed. This review is
aimed at doctors within different specialties where lcelandic studies on
pulmonary metastasectomy are referred to.
Key words: Pulmonary metastasectomy, lung metastases, indications, surgical technique, prognostic factors, survival.
