The Influence of the Primary Tumor on the Long-term Results of Pulmonary Metastasectomy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
2011
OBJECTIVE To investigate one of the primary tumor (PT) on pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to define prognostic factors. METHODS Retrospective review of patients with pulmonary metastases from RCC from January 1999 through December 2008 was performed. All patients underwent PM with curative intend. TNM-classification, tumor stage and PT grade, disease-free-interval (DFI) from nephrectomy to the diagnosis of metastasis, systemic chemotherapy before surgical intervention, surgical procedures, morbidity, mortality, and survival were investigated. RESULTS One-hundred seven consecutive patients (age 61.5 ± 9.6 years) underwent PM. Morbidity and mortalit…
Metastasectomy With Standardized Lymph Node Dissection for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: An 11-Year Single-Center Experience
2013
Background Pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma is an established method of treatment for selected patients. The incidence of intrathoracic lymph node metastases (ITLNM) and outcomes remain controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of ITLNM and long-term outcome of PM for metastatic kidney cancer. Methods From January 1999 to December 2009, 116 patients (82 men, age 61.7 ± 9.0 years) with metastases from kidney cancer underwent PM and systematic lymph node dissection with curative intent. Kaplan-Meier analyses, log-rank test, and Cox regression analyses were used to estimate survival and to determine prognosticators of survival. Res…
Risk factors for lymph node metastases and prognosticators of survival in patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal cancer.
2013
Background Systematic lymph node dissection is not routinely performed in patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) of colorectal cancer. The aim of the study was to identify risk factors for lymph node metastases (LNM) and to determine prognosticators for survival in colorectal cancer patients with pulmonary metastases. Methods We retrospectively reviewed our prospective database of 165 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing PM and systematic lymph node dissection with curative intent from 1999 to 2009. The χ 2 test, regression analyses, Kaplan-Meier analyses, log rank tests, and Cox regression analyses were used to determine prognosticators for LNM and survival. Results The pr…
Factors predicting poor survival after lung-sparing radical pleurectomy of IMIG stage III malignant pleural mesothelioma.
2012
OBJECTIVES: The role of radical pleurectomy (RP) in the management of IMIG stage III in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) remains controversial. The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility and outcome as well as to determine factors predicting poor survival. METHODS: Patients having IMIG stage III MPM were identified within a prospective multimodality treatment study (RP followed by chemoradiation) between 2002 and 2010 at a single institution. Kaplan–Meier analyses, log-rank test and Cox regression analyses were used to estimate survival and to determine predictors of survival. RESULTS: A total of 78 patients (66.3 ± 2.5 years, 65 males) underwent RP followed by chemoradiati…
