Abstract
From 1955 to 1975 in 25 patients lung surgery has been carried out because of intrapulmonary metastases of extrapulmonary malignant growth. 6 patients survived longer than 5 years. There was no relationship between survival time and length of the time interval between initial surgery (primary) and second operation (i.e. diagnosis of pulmonary lesion). On the other hand a definite relationship resulted for survival time and the size of the growth. In bad-risk patients surgery for metastatic lung cancer is not indicated, but it is very successful in selected cases.
