      Background

      Sarcomas are known to be one of the aggressive malignant tumors. They often develop multiple pulmonary metastasis, and thus systemic therapy is a treatment of choice for metastatic lung tumors. However, effective chemotherapeutic treatments have not yet been established. Surgical resection for metastatic lung tumors is a therapeutic option to control the disease, although it is not a curative therapy.

      Between January 2006 and April 2018, 396 pulmonary resections were performed for 219 sarcoma patients with metastatic lung tumors in Okayama University Hospital. Among them, 129 sarcoma patients who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy between January 2006 and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. In total, 229 pulmonary resections were performed. We analyzed the following factors: age, sex, site of primary lesion, histology, operative procedures, size of the largest lesions resected, maximum number of the resected tumors, postoperative complications, and survival rate.

      In total, 939 metastatic nodules were resected. Average number of tumors per intervention was 4.1 (range 1-19). These sarcoma patients consisted of 31 males and 98 females, and their average age was 53.6 years (range 14-80 years). Leiomyosarcoma was the most common histological subtype (n = 72, 55.8%) and uterus was the most common location of the primary disease (n = 55, 42.6%). Operative procedures were composed of 173 partial resections, 31 segmentectomies with or without partial resections, 24 lobectomies with or without partial resections, and 1 basal segmental auto-transplantation after pneumonectomy. The postoperative complications were limited, showing that pulmonary metastasectomies for sarcomas are acceptable. Overall 3-year survival after the first pulmonary metastasectomy was 49.5%, and multivariate analysis revealed that the survival was significantly better for the group with disease-free interval of more than 2 years or the size of the largest resected lesion less than 30 mm.

      Surgical resections for metastatic lung tumors from various sarcomas were performed without major complications, indicating the acceptable feasibility. If disease-free interval is more than 2 years and the size of the largest resected lesion is less than 30 mm, patients may maximally benefit from surgical resection.
