Characteristics and Growth Rate of Lung Metastases in Patients With Primary Gastrointestinal Malignancies and Lung-dominant Metastatic Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

Conclusions: Lung metastases from primary GI cancers have a variable but overall indolent natural history and are generally associated with prolonged survival outcomes. Further efforts to define patterns of growth of lung metastases, informed by size, number, and clinical/molecular features, are needed to guide appropriate timing and selection of therapy as well as surveillance strategies.
