abstract = {Background: The risk of complication following pneumonectomy is high; therefore, the decision to perform pneumonectomy should be carefully evaluated. A retrospective multicenter study of patients with metastatic lung tumors who underwent pneumonectomy was conducted.
Methods: The database from the Metastatic Lung Tumor Study Group of Japan was retrospectively reviewed. Between 1984 and 2013, 4,742 patients underwent pulmonary metastasectomy. Of the 4,742 patients, 55 patients (1.16%) who underwent pneumonectomy were analyzed, and their survival parameters and prognostic factors were evaluated.
Results: Of the 55 patients who underwent pneumonectomy, 34 patients were male and 21 patients were female. The primary tumor sites were colorectal in 28 patients, head and neck in 12 patients, bone in three patients, bladder in three patients, and other regions in nine patients (breast, uterus, liver, soft tissues in two patients, respectively, and pancreas in one patient). The overall 5-year survival rate of patients following pneumonectomy was 28.9%. The rate was significantly lower than that of patients who underwent other metastasectomy which had an overall 5-year survival rate of 53.4% (P},
