Pulmonary resection for solitary metastasis from pancreatic cancer
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is still one of the most lethal cancer diseases, and recurrence occurs in more than 80% of the patients even though curative resection was achieved. We experienced a case of pulmonary resection for solitary lung metastasis of the pancreatic cancer that developed after pancreaticoduodenectomy and following adjuvant chemotherapy. The postoperative course was uneventful and long-term survival was achieved. Pulmonary resection could improve the prognosis of selected patients who are suffering from lung metastasis of pancreatic cancer, and can be considered as a treatment option.
