Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumour in Japan. Because gastric cancer metastases to the lung generally occur as lymphangitic carcinomatosis or numerous lesions, metastasectomy is rarely indicated. Therefore, the role of resectable pulmonary metastasectomy in gastric cancer is still unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the surgical outcomes and prognostic factors for survival after pulmonary resection of resectable metastatic gastric cancer.
