title: [Surgical indication and significance of local therapy for first pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer].
abstract: We often observe pulmonary metastases in patients following advanced colorectal cancer, especially rectal cancer. The prognoses of LM3 patients and patients with histological v2 factor in the primary site were unfavorable. Surgery was not indicated in these cases. Some patients experienced rapid progression during the standby period for surgery. For the surgery group, we recommend systemic reexaminations after several months. Pulmonary resections for metastatic colorectal cancer are beneficial to the selected patients and 5-year survival rate was 52.6%. New pulmonary relapses were also encountered which were the cause of death among the surgical patients. Close follow-up and multimodal therapy including surgery contributed to longer survival for postoperative pulmonary metastatectomy patients with colorectal cancer.
