Abstract
The frequency of lung metastases varies from 1.6 to 55.4% depending on the site and histological structure of the primary tumor according to the literature data. As a result of improving chemotherapy effectiveness, emergence of new diagnostic techniques, anesthesiology and surgical facilities, indications for lung metastases surgery are extending. The proportion of surgery for intrapulmonary metastases does not exceed 2.5 - 4% of all the thoracic surgeries despite the huge contingent of patients who require this specialized care. The complications rate after lung metastases surgery is about 10-15%. Mortality after surgery for lung metastases ranges from 1.2 to 6%.
