Abstract
This article summarizes findings about the applicability of minimal-access techniques for thoracic and upper gastrointestinal cancers, including those affecting the lung, liver, stomach, and adrenal gland. If metastasectomy and cytoreductive surgery are rapidly evolving, minimal-access surgery in this setting is in its introductory stages. Nevertheless, minimal-access metastasectomy and cytoreductive surgery harbor great potential for selected patients, but further clinical studies are needed.
