Abstract

Metastatic colon cancer from primary lung cancer is usually a part of systemic dissemination, suggesting limited prognosis. However, surgical intervention for symptomatic patients such as hemorrhage is sometimes required. Surgeons must carefully determine the surgical indication in view of prognosis and quality of life.

Keywords: laparoscopic surgery; lung cancer; lung cancer metastatic to colon; palliative surgery.
