Abstract:
Pulmonary metastasectomy is a scarcely studied topic for germ cell and thymic tumors. There is evidence showing that pulmonary metastasectomy provides a long-term survival benefit in germ cell tumors. Surgical management of thymic tumor recurrence in the thoracic cavity is generally recommended. Chemoradiation therapies and a multidisciplinary assessment are critical in these cases. The surgical approach should be tailored to the specific patient and location of metastases.
