title: [Surgical treatment of pulmonary metastasis from renal cancer: analysis of 9 cases].
abstract: Nine patients with pulmonary metastasis from renal cancer were subjected to surgical treatment which included wedge resection (2 cases) and lobectomy (9). One case of multiple lesions in bilateral lungs was treated in the same time by cryosurgery and fulguration. The survival time after operation ranged from 5 to 90 months. In this series, four cases are still alive, others survived for 13 months, 20 months, 34 months, and 90 months, respectively. We suggest that the more active attitude should be taken for the surgical treatment of pulmonary metastasis.
