The optimal starting point for survival time in pulmonary metastasectomy

Conclusions We believe that the potential confounding factors were counterbalanced by the effect of prognostic factors on multivariate analysis in patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy. If the survival period is defined as starting from the time of the primary tumor resection, this may resolve the variance in survival, because pulmonary metastasectomy is only one option among several available treatments.
