    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Cancer Metastasis

    Background:

    • Thoracic metastases represent a significant challenge in cancer management.
    • Understanding the origin and characteristics of these secondary tumors is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the role of surgery in managing thoracic metastases from various distant primary cancers.
    • To analyze the impact of tumor type, location, and non-surgical treatments on surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 104 patients with histologically confirmed thoracic metastases.
    • Analysis of primary tumor origin, metastasis site (intrapulmonary, pleural, chest wall), and treatment modalities.
    • Evaluation of survival and disease management strategies.

    Main Results:

    • 90 lesions were intrapulmonary; others involved pleura and chest wall.
    • Common primary sites included genitourinary (32), gastrointestinal (29), and breast (18).
    • 47 patients underwent surgical treatment for thoracic metastases.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgery can be a viable option for managing thoracic metastases, depending on various clinical factors.
    • Further evaluation is needed to define the optimal role of surgery alongside other treatment modalities.
