Between January 1995 and May 2014, 69 patients underwent lung metastasectomy with curative intent. We evaluated primary site of the tumor, the role of adjuvant chemotherapy after urological operation, disease-free interval (DFI; lower or higher than 24 months), type of lung resection, number of lung metastases, presence of metastatic lymph nodes, and diameter of the metastasis (less or more than 3 cm).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Among 69 patients, 55 (79%) had bladder as primary site of disease and 12 of them received a transurethral bladder resection. Fourteen (21%) patients developed primary tumor in the renal pelvis or ureter; 53 (76%) patients presented with a single metastasis, 16 (24%) with multiple metastasis. The median DFI was 37 months and the median follow-up was 50 months. Sampling lymphadenectomy was done in 42 patients and nodal metastases were found in 7 patients. The overall 5-year survival was 52%, median 62 months. At univariate analysis, the DFI had a significant impact on survival (5-year survival of 58% for patients with DFI\u2009\u2265\u200924 months vs. 46%; p\u2009=\u20090.048) and diameter of metastasis (5-year survival of 59% for diameter less than 3 cm group vs. 33%; p\u2009=\u20090.001). The multivariate analysis confirmed metastasis' diameter as an independent prognostic factor (p\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Our study found that, in addition to DFI that remains a common prognostic factor in patients with metastatic lung disease, in lung metastases by transitional cell carcinoma, the diameter of the lesion is another significant prognostic factor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0036-1583271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,5]],"date-time":"2016-05-05T18:40:02Z","timestamp":1462473602000},"page":"567-571","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Long-Term Results and Prognostic Factors of Pulmonary Metastasectomy in Patients with Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Luca","family":"Luzzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Thoracic Surgery Unit, University Hospital of Siena, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Marulli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiologic, Thoracic and Vascular Sciences, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piero","family":"Solli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Cardillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Thoracic Surgery, Carlo Forlanini Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Mammana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiologic, Thoracic and Vascular Sciences, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Carleo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Thoracic Surgery, Carlo Forlanini Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Spaggiari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, European Institute of Oncology, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Rea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiologic, Thoracic and Vascular Sciences, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Ghisalberti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Thoracic Surgery Unit, University Hospital of Siena, Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,5]]},"container-title":["The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0036-1583271.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]],"date-time":"2017-12-19T07:51:44Z","timestamp":1513669904000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0036-1583271"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"07","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,6]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0036-1583271","relation":{},"ISSN":["0171-6425","1439-1902"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0171-6425","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-1902","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,5]]}}}
