Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the outcomes of lung surgery in patients with metastatic melanoma, analyzing data from a registry in Ontario, Canada, between 2004 and 2012.
- Out of 99 patients, the overall two-year survival rate was 44%, while only 21% survived five years post-surgery, with larger tumor sizes linked to lower survival rates.
- Positive margin status was associated with larger lesions, and no patients with positive margins survived beyond two years, highlighting the importance of tumor size in prognosis.
