| Article Title: | Resection of pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer |
| Abstract: | Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the United States. It has a well-recognized tendency to metastasize to the lungs, and under certain circumstances, these metastases are resectable. Data accumulated over the last 40 years support a survival benefit from resection of these lesions and have given a better understanding of the indications that should be adhered to in performing metastasectomy for colorectal cancer. |
