Surgical approach to pulmonary metastases and its impact on prognosis
Both VATS and thoracotomy are effective and safe options for PM. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery may offer advantages, particularly in certain patient groups and tumor types, potentially prolonging survival. Gender-specific analyses suggest a survival benefit of VATS, particularly in women. Further studies are needed to validate these results and optimize surgical decision-making in PM.
