title: [Clinical study on reoperation for recurrent pulmonary metastasis].
abstract: Ninety seven patients with metastatic lung tumors were treated surgically in our department. Second pulmonary resections were performed in 13 patients. They consists of 9 males and 4 females, their age ranged from 12 to 75 years old (average 54.4 years old). Tumors originate from sarcoma in 5 cases, laryngeal cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cell cancer in 2 cases respectively, oral cavity cancer and transitional cell cancer in 1 case respectively. No second pulmonary resection was performed in patients with metastatic lung tumors originating from lung cancer or breast cancer, because they metastatize not only lung but also general organs. No second pulmonary resection was required in patients with testicular tumor and choriocarcinoma, because chemotherapy take good effect on them.
