Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Video-assisted surgery may have fewer side effects than conventional surgery in patients with lung metastases. It is not yet known whether conventional surgery or video-assisted surgery is more effective in treating lung metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of conventional surgery with that of video-assisted surgery in treating patients who have lung metastases.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• overall survival

  Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• recurrence free survival

  Up to 5 years

Study Arms (2)

surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo open resection (thoracotomy, median sternotomy, or bilateral sternothoracotomy). Patients with isolated recurrence in the chest should have the recurrence(s) resected if feasible. The original resection approach (open versus VATS) should be the preferred method for the second resection, but is not required. Quality of life is assessed prior to randomization and then at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months thereafter.

Procedure: surgical procedure

video-assisted surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

After spiral CT showing pulmonary nodules are amenable to video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) resection with curative intent, patients undergo minimally-invasive video-assisted resection. Patients with isolated recurrence in the chest should have the recurrence(s) resected if feasible. The original resection approach (open versus VATS) should be the preferred method for the second resection, but is not required. Quality of life is assessed prior to randomization and then at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months thereafter.

Procedure: surgical procedure

Interventions

surgical procedure PROCEDURE

surgery; video-assisted surgery
