| Background. Up to 66% of patients show local pulmonary disease progression after pulmonary metastasectomy. Regional treatment with isolated lung perfusion (ILuP) may improve local control with minimal systemic adverse effects. The aims of this study were to evaluate local and distant control after ILuP, determine the effect on overall survival compared with historical controls, and confirm the safety and feasibility of ILuP. Methods. A total of 107 patients with resectable pulmonary metastases of colorectal carcinoma, osteosarcoma, and soft-tissue sarcoma were included in a prospective phase II study of pulmonary metastasectomy combined with ILuP with 45 mg melphalan at 37 degrees C. Local and distant control, overall survival, lung function, and 90-day mortality and morbidity were monitored. Results. We report 0% mortality, low morbidity, and no long-term pulmonary toxicity. For colorectal carcinoma, median time to local pulmonary progression, median time to progression, and median survival time were 31, 14, and 78 months, respectively. Median time to local progression was not reached for sarcoma, whereas median time to progression and median survival time were 13 and 39 months, respectively. The 5-year disease-free rate and pulmonary progression-free rate were 26% and 44% for colorectal carcinoma and 29% and 63% for sarcoma, respectively. Conclusions. ILuP with melphalan combined with metastasectomy is feasible and safe. Compared with historical controls, favorable results were obtained in this phase II study for local control. Further evaluation of locoregional lung perfusion techniques with other chemotherapeutic drugs is warranted. (C) 2019 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons |
