    Abstract: Pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is an established treatment for selected patients with metastatic sarcomas. The aim of this study was to examine our institutional experience and evaluate factors predicting outcome. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing PM for bone sarcoma in our center from 2001 to 2019. Survival was calculated from the date of PM. Impact on survival of clinical parameters was assessed. Results Thirty-eight patients (27 males, 71%) were included. Histology was osteosarcoma ( n  = 20, 53%), Ewing sarcoma ( n  = 13, 34%) and chondrosarcoma ( n  = 5, 13%). Twelve patients (31.5%) had synchronous metastases, all received chemotherapy before PM. Median number of metastases was 3 (1 to 29). Twenty (53%) patients had mediastinal lymph node sampling. One patient had positive lymph nodes. Ninety-day mortality was 0%. Three and 5-year PFS were 24.5 and 21%, respectively. Three and 5-year OS were 64.5 and 38.5%, respectively. More than three metastases and progression under chemotherapy were significant independent predictors for OS. Conclusion PM is a safe procedure and encouraging long-term outcome can be achieved. Patients with progression of pulmonary metastases under chemotherapy as well as patients with more than three metastases had significantly worse OS.

    Abstract: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) most frequently metastasizes to the lung. Metastatic LMS is considered incurable. Selected patients may benefit from pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) within multimodal therapy. This study analyzed the prognostic relevance of clinicopathologic factors in these patients. Methods Patients with metastatic LMS to the lung treated in our center from 2004 to 2020 were included in this single-center retrospective study. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and prognostic factors were analyzed. Results The study had 64 patients (33 males, 52%) with metastatic LMS to the lung. The 5-year OS was 55% after the diagnosis of pulmonary metastases. Age older than 60 years at the primary tumor diagnosis, primary tumor larger than 70 mm, and five or more lung metastases were associated with poorer OS. Of the 64 patients, 44 underwent PM. The postoperative mortality rate was 0%. The patients selected for PM were younger and had smaller primary tumors, fewer metastases, and metastases that more often were metachronous. Metastasis grade (G1 vs. G2/3) and size (20-mm cutoff) were significant prognostic factors for OS ( p = 0.05) and PFS ( p = 0.028) after PM, respectively. The 44 patients who underwent PM had a survival benefit compared with the patients who were selected but did not undergo PM ( n = 6) and the patients who were not selected for PM ( n = 14). Three patients (7%) were alive and free of disease at the last follow-up visit respectively 5.5, 9, and 12 years after PM. Conclusions For patients with leiomyosarcoma, PM is safe. Despite aggressive multimodal treatment, most patients will experience recurrence and eventually die of their disease. However, a small subgroup of patients could potentially be cured after PM.
