RESUMO

Marks, P. (1974).Thorax, 29, 248-251. Multiple thoracotomy for metastatic pulmonary neoplasm. Surgical excision of solitary, metastatic, malignant lesions of the lung is reported as of benefit in certain cases in which the primary tumour apparently has been completely removed and in which there is no evidence of further metastatic spread. It has been shown that in a few instances survival for many years may be expected to follow such a procedure, while at other times the degree of palliation of pulmonary symptoms makes the operation worthwhile.
