Abstract
Although there is no evidence from prospective randomized controlled trials to support this practice, pulmonary metastases of sarcomas are often treated surgically if they are resectable. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the prognostic factors and outcome of pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) for soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) arising in the trunk wall and extremities in 66 consecutive patients. Prognostic factors associated with disease-specific survival after PM were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses. The patients included 38 men and 28 women, with a median age of 49 years. The median disease-specific survival after PM was 48 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 45%. No major perioperative complications occurred. Disease-free interval (
