An analysis of results of treatment of 112 patients with metastases of intrapulmonary colorectal carcinoma (CRC) for the period from 1990 to 2006 has shown that cytoreductive opera tions for excision of the metastases are an effective method of treatment of this category of patients which allows a two times increased survival median as compared with analogous index in the group of patients exposed to palliative chemotherapy. Palliative chemotherapy fails to have statistically significant influence to survival of patients who have ablated intrapulmonary CRC metastases in the volume of complete cytoreduction.
