Surgical treatment of lung metastases in patients with embryonal pediatric solid tumors: an update
چکیده انگلیسی

Distant metastases regularly occur in children with solid tumors. The most affected organ is the lung. Nearly in all extracranial pediatric solid tumors, the presence of lung metastases is associated with an adverse prognosis for the children. Therefore, the correct treatment of lung metastases is essential and influences the outcome. Despite different national and international trials for pediatric tumor entities, specific surgical aspects or guidelines for lung metastases are usually not addressed thoroughly in these protocols. The aim of this article is to present the diagnostic challenges and principles of surgical treatment by focusing on the influence of surgery on the outcome of children. Special points of interest are discussed that emphasize sarcomas, nephroblastomas, hepatoblastomas, and other tumors. Surgery of lung metastases is safe, has a positive impact on the patients' prognosis, and should be aggressive depending on the tumor entity. An interdisciplinary approach, including pediatric oncology and radiology, is mandatory in any case.
