Impact of pulmonary metastasectomy timing and nodule characteristics on survival outcomes in patients with pediatric sarcoma
Our study suggests that early pulmonary metastasectomy, performed within 30 days of metastasis detection, improves 5-year survival in pediatric sarcoma patients. The number of metastatic nodules and the timing of surgery are critical factors in determining survival outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of timely surgical intervention and careful evaluation of metastasis extent in optimizing patient prognosis.
