Despite the wide discussion in the literature about the possibility of surgical treatment of distant metastases of colorectal cancer to various organs, the reports about surgical removal of colorectal cancer metastases to the lungs are still rare. According to literature data, frequency of lung surgeries for malignant tumor metastases of various localizations makes up to 4.6% of surgeries for lung cancer, and the 3-year survival rate is observed in 50% of cases, 5-year - in 38%.
