Metastasectomy, a feasible treatment in selected cases with gynecologic malignancy.
We present the course of six gynecological patients who underwent surgical intervention because of a solitary metastasis. After a considerable follow-up period five patients are alive without evidence of disease and with a good quality of life. Metastasectomy should play a role in the management of gynecologic malignancies.
