Abstract

The Authors on the basis of their own experience and scientific literature, study the indications to the surgical treatment of pulmonary metastasis. Surgical treatment usually produces a palliative result, bettering the quality of life. For some other Authors, surgical treatment if there are no local recurrences and metastasis, could produce complete healing.
