Resection of Pulmonary and Antecedent Hepatic Metastases Arising from Colon Cancer. Report of a Case.

Abstract

Although surgical resection is a suitable treatment for localized metastases from colorectal cancer, it remains controversial for multiorgan metastases. We present herein a case of a 59-year-old woman, who underwent resection of pulmonary and antecedent hepatic metastases arising from colon cancer. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and there has been no evidence of recurrence for 23 months after the first operation. We report this case and discuss the operative indication for multiorgan metastases arising from colorectal cancer.
