Abstract
The authors give data on 39 patients operated on for colorectal cancer metastases to the liver and lung. Resurgeries were made in 6 cases. Predictors were defined. In patients with simultaneous metastases, 3-year survival was 36% with a median of 21 months and in those with metachronic metastases, it was 69% with a median of 31 months. Better results were obtained in the patients who had undergone hepatectomy and, following 2-3 weeks, metastasis removal from the lung particularly when secondary foci were detected only 6 months or more after primary tumor removal.
