Résumé
The lung represents the most common site for metastatic spread of extrathoracic primary malignancies. Pulmonary metastatic disease occurs in a wide breadth of cancers with a multitude of histologies, and, historically, has been managed predominantly with systemic therapy. However, in appropriately selected patients, pulmonary metastasectomy can provide extended disease-free intervals, relief from systemic therapy, and prolonged survival. Thus, pulmonary metastasectomy serves a vital role in the armamentarium against a multitude of primary malignancies. Moreover, as systemic agents improve and more patients live longer with stage IV cancer, pulmonary metastasectomy will likely have increasing relevance in the future.
