Strategies and outcomes in pulmonary and extrapulmonary metastases from renal cell cancer.

Author
Abstract
:

Resected renal carcinoma related lung metastases (LM) are associated with higher survival rates, but surgery for extrapulmonary metastases affords good results too. Patients operated on for extrapulmonary metastases before thoracotomy are at high risk of death. The purpose of our analysis was to explore the surgical impact on the outcome of patients with such association.
