Long-Term Outcomes After Surgical Resection of Pulmonary Metastases From Colorectal Cancer

Surgical resection offers a chance to prolong survival in colorectal cancer patients with resectable pulmonary metastases. Owing to the high recurrence rate, careful postoperative follow-up for early detection is recommended, and even for recurrence, surgical resection should be considered for better survival if the lesions are limited to the liver or lungs, or both.
