A narrative review on pulmonary metastases management by non-surgical local techniques: where do we stand?

Abstract: To analyze the existent evidence regarding local non-surgical therapies of lung metastases in terms of prognostic outcomes, control of disease and safety of treatment.Background: The rationale of local therapies for pulmonary metastases is either to increase the patient's chance of survival or cure the disease, depending on the origin and histology of the tumour. Metastasectomy still represents the preferred local treatment for lung metastases; however, due to the obvious drawbacks of almost any surgical inter… Show more
