title: [Personal observations on surgical therapy of pulmonary metastases of renal carcinoma].
abstract: Renal cancer has an high incidence of metastasizing and its metastases are just a little responsive to chemo and radiotherapy. Because of this, thoracic surgeons began to have experiences on surgical resections of lung metastases from renal cancer. Pulmonary metastases can be isolated or multiple and may appear at the same time of renal cancer discovery or after it, and they generally have a very slow evolution. Authors report their own 15 years old experience on lung metastases from renal cancer resections.
