Scrutiny of pulmonary metastasectomy Patients fulfilling the criteria for pulmonary metastasectomy are heavily selected, belong to the benign end of the malignancy spectrum and have automatically a favourable survival. The current five-year survival of 40% is probably due to selection mechanisms, and the possible contribution of surgery is not proven. Further studies are necessary. Sweden seems to have uniquely good conditions to make the necessary investigations.
肺转移瘤切除术的审视符合肺转移瘤切除术标准的患者经过严格筛选，属于恶性肿瘤谱系中良性的一端，自然具有较好的生存率。目前40%的五年生存率可能归因于选择机制，手术的可能作用尚未得到证实。有必要进行进一步研究。瑞典似乎具备开展必要调查的得天独厚的良好条件。
