The adrenal gland is a frequent site for metastases from lung carcinoma. We have treated five patients with a solitary symptomatic mass in the adrenal by palliative adrenalectomy with fair results. These case reports and discussion of the literature are presented.
Background and Objectives: Surgical resection of lung metastases is an established therapy for a large number of primary tumors, but there is some controversy about prognostic factors for long-term survival. Methods: From 1968 to 1996, we performed a retrospective review of a series of 85 patients (
In 1971, the author reported 22 children with multiple pulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma. Six of these 22 (27%) were alive and well 10 to 15 years later. Two of the six developed new different tumors. Since these patients with multiple pulmonary metastases did well with aggressive multiple thor
From 1970 to 1993, 155 thoracotomies for metastatic lung tumors were performed on 113 patients in the Department of Surgery, Kanazawa University School of Medicine. Overall 30-day mortality amounted to 0.9% (1/113). The cumulative 3-and 5-year survival rates were 39.4% and 29.1%, respectively. The o
