[Results of long-term follow-up of surgical treatment of pulmonary metastases of testicular germ cell tumors].
The authors analyse 34 cases of surgeries performed due to residual pulmonary metastases with germinative testicular tumours. Good results in the length of survival are ascribed to thoracotomy, or sternotomy with the resection of metastatic foci, i.e. the only method which reliably ascertains the biological nature of residual pulmonary lesion after chemotherapy.
