    P1.06-034 - Outcomes after Pulmonary Metastasectomy for Metastatic Cancer (ID 5789)

    14:30 - 14:30  |  Author(s): S. Galvin
    • Abstract

    Background:
    In most malignant diseases , the ability to constantly metastasize remains a truly challenging obstacle in cancer patients . Historically in the past , any local surgical treatment in patients with systemic malignant disease is considered without any prognostic benefit , this has since evolved with many studies confering huge success rates with excellent prognostic benefits . We hereby report our experience over the last 10 years at Wellington Regional Hospital , Cardiothoracic unit .
    
    Methods:
    A retrospective study was undertaken in series of patients with colorectal , melanoma , breast , sarcoma & renal metastatic disease undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy , from year 2000 to 2010 . These data was identified & stratified into groups using hospital patient database & ORSOS theatre database with the aid of Excel spreadsheet .
    
    Results:
    All these patients were operated on either – unilateral versus bilateral , VATS or thoracotomies with or without lymph node dssection as well as repeat surgeries . The role of metastatectomy in their treatment options & the prognostic factors with impact on survival discussed .
    
    Conclusion:
    In carefully selected surgical patients , pulmonary metastasectomy for metastatic diseases confers continual prognostic & survival advantage for these patients .
