Abstract:
During the last 16 years, 15 patients with colorectal (n = 12), gastric (n = 1), renal cell (n = 1) and adrenal (n = 1) carcinoma underwent sequential resection of both hepatic and pulmonary metastases. Median survival after diagnosis of primary tumor was 80 months (range 23-183), after liver resection 23 (range 10-131), and after lung resection 18 months (range 5-87). Compared to patients with only hepatic (median survival: 38 months) or pulmonary metastases (median survival: 30 months) survival time was not significantly different (p = 0.18).
