  • Title: Skin metastases in lung cancer: analysis of a 10-year experience.
    Author: Ambrogi V, Nofroni I, Tonini G, Mineo TC.
    Journal: Oncol Rep; 2001; 8(1):57-61. PubMed ID: 11115569.
    Abstract:
    We reviewed our 10-year experience in skin metastases from lung cancer. We identified a total of 26 patients with 49 resected skin metastases. Skin metastases were synchronous in 6 patients, 3 of whom underwent primary simultaneous resection, and solitary in 6 (6/26=23.07%). Negative prognostic factors were primary non-resectability (p=0.001), small cell lung cancer (p=0.032), simultaneous discovery of other cutaneous (p=0.048) or extracutaneous (p=0.0005, Wald test p<0.002, Odds ratio =14.37) metastases. Skin metastasis represented the unique distant localization in almost one quarter of our cases that represent the best-survivor category: in these patients skin metastasectomy is justified.
