title: [Follow up study of patients operated on metastases of the lung and pleura (author's transl)].
abstract: From 1956 til 1974, 1851 patients have been operated on a malignancy of the lung. 29 of them had a solitary lung metastasis and 2 of them a metastasis of the pleura. Among those, the primary malignancies showed the following frequency: 7 malignancies of the uterus, 7 sarcomas, 4 carcinomas of the breast, 4 carcinomas of the large bowel, 4 malignant goiters, 3 hypernephromas, 1 seminoma and 1 malignancy of the pancreas. The mean survival time was 3.3 years. 25.8% of the patients survived 5 years. Patients with a primary malignancy of the uterus appear to do best. In case of repeated metastases we did not operate upon again.
