Isolated Pulmonary Metastasis Metastasectomy After Curative Prostate Cancer Treatment in Oligometastatic Disease

Abstract

Isolated pulmonary metastasis is observed in 2%-3% of prostate cancer cases but a complete treatment algorithm was not established for these patients. This study aimed to present a case of isolated pulmonary metastasis during the follow-up after radical prostatectomy, in which recurrence was not detected for 2 years after metastasectomy. The patient was on follow-up without any treatment for 22 months, with an unobservable prostate-specific antigen value. Metastasectomy in oligometastatic disease has emerged as a treatment option in recent years but is not considered a standard treatment. Literature contribution is necessary for oligometastatic disease definition to clarify its nature and compare treatment options.
