Twelve patients with pulmonary metastases of recurrent colorectal carcinoma underwent pulmonary resection at National Ohkura Hospital. The Cumulative five-year survival rate was 60 per cent. No correlation was found between the disease-free interval and survival following thoracotomy. There was a statistically significant difference in survival rates corresponding to Duke's classification of the primary lesion. Patients with solitary lesions had a better survival rate than patients with multiple lesions. We believe that the surgical treatment of pulmonary metastases in a select group of patients, i.e., those with solitary pulmonary lesions, will prolong survival and be curative in a number of patients.
十二例复发性结直肠癌肺转移患者在大仓国立医院接受了肺切除术。累积五年生存率为60%。开胸术后无病生存期与生存率之间未发现相关性。根据原发灶的杜克分类，生存率存在统计学显著差异。孤立性病灶患者的生存率高于多发性病灶患者。我们认为，对一组特定患者，即那些有孤立性肺转移灶的患者进行手术治疗，将延长生存期并使一些患者治愈。
