Introduction:Sixteen percent of patients with gastric cancer will develop pulmonary metastases. Standard of care for these patients is systemic chemotherapy with a median survival of 6 months and a 5-year survival of only 2%. Our aim was to critically evaluate the published data on pulmonary resection for metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) and to analyze the potential rationale for surgical management to determine which patients may benefit from this approach.Methods:The Pubmed and SCOPUS databases were queried for all studies reporting on pulmonary resections for MGC. All available clinicopathologic data were analyzed.Results:Twenty-one studies from 1975 to 2008 reported 48 pulmonary resections in 43 patients including five repeat resections ...
