[Surgical treatment of metastatic lung cancer arising from the colon and rectum].
Ten cases of surgically resected pulmonary metastases arising from colorectal cancer were analyzed. Five year survival rate of these patients was 14%. Only one patient survived more than five years, whose primary and metastatic lesions were not so progressive without lymph node metastasis. The rate of regional lymph node metastasis was 25% and the patients with positive nodes died or had recurrence within 2 years. Serum CEA level was useful as a tumor marker and high-level of serum CEA after operation suggested remnant disease.
