Long-Term Survival After Salvage Surgery for Colorectal Lung Metastases

We report the case of a patient with an extended pneumonectomy for colorectal lung metastases after the failure of multimodal treatment. Salvage surgery may be useful in highly selected patients to achieve local control, resulting in long-term disease-free survival.
