AIM:To investigate prognostic factors of survival following curative,non-palliative surgical removal of lung metastases secondary to colorectal cancer (CRC).METHODS:Between 1999 and 2009,a radical metastasectomy with curative intent was performed on lung metastases in 21 patients with CRC (15 male and 6 female; mean age:57.4 ± 11.8 years; age range:29-74years) who had already undergone primary tumour resection.RESULTS:The mean number of lung metastases ranged from one to five.The mean overall survival was 71 ±35 mo (median:25 mo).After adjusting for potential confounders,multivariable Cox regression analyses predicted only the number of lung metastases (1 vs ≥ 2;hazard ratio:7.60,95% confidence interval:1.18-17.2,P =0.03) as an independent predictor of poor survival following lung resection for metastatic CRC.CONCLUSION:Resection of lung metastases is a safe and effective treatment in selected CRC patients with single lung metastases.
