Prognostic influence of the treatment approach for pulmonary metastasis in patients with soft tissue sarcoma

In addition, chemotherapy could prolong survival in patients who were not eligible for pulmonary resection. Although we should carefully weigh th e risks and benefits, appropriate treatment for pulmonary metastases could contribute to long-time survival.
