Resumen
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third-most-diagnosed cancer in males and in females, and about 20% of patients diagnosed with CRC present metastatic disease; pulmonary metastasectomy in CRC patients therefore represents a frequent scenario to be managed by thoracic surgeons. Due to the lack of randomized controlled trials among different local strategies, there is no definitive evidence about the optimal approach, although surgical resection is considered the most effective therapeutic option in this clinical scenario.
