Abstract

Background/Aim: This study aimed to investigate prognostic factors in pulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal cancer (CRC), considering the location of the primary tumor. Patients and Methods: We collected information from patients who underwent pulmonary resection for CRC at two high-volume centers from January 2010 to December 2023. Using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, patient background factors that affected the prognosis after pulmonary metastasectomy were identified. Results: A total of 289 patients were included in the study. The multivariate analysis revealed the primary tumor site [hazard ratio (HR)=1.89, p=0.016], the maximum diameter of the pulmonary nodule (HR=1.76, p=0.016), and multiple metastases (HR=2.10, p
