abstract = {Background: This retrospective study is designed to evaluate factors affecting survival in a population of patients receiving pulmonary metastasectomy after gynecologic cancers.
Methods: Nineteen patients with isolated lung metastases (one or two) were surgically treated with R0 resection. Four of them underwent lobectomies.
Results: Six patients (31.6%) received adjuvant therapy and 11 (58%) experienced recurrences after metastasectomy. Five- and ten-year survival were 40.9% and 31.4%, respectively. Five-year survival in patients receiving adjuvant therapy was 52.4%. At multivariate analysis factors negatively influencing survival were a disease-free interval (DFI) of less than 24 months and recurrence after pulmonary metastasectomy.
Conclusions: Pulmonary resection for metastatic gynecologic cancer is feasible and effective; adequate selection of patients is mandatory to achieve satisfactory results and long-term survival.},
