Abstract：Pulmonary metastasectomy is an important curative option for patients with osteogenic and softtissue sarcoma spread to the lungs. Complete surgical removal of pulmonary metastases can improve survival and is recommended under certain criteria. Specific issues that require consideration when planning pulmonary metastasectomy include: preoperative assessment of the operation index and contraindications, choice of surgical strategies, pulmonary parenchymal preservation, and the role of lymphadenectomy. With the development of iconography and chemotherapy, the emergence of targeted drugs, and the innovation of radiotherapy, the concept of the diagnosis and treatment for pulmonary metastases from osteogenic and softtissue sarcoma is also undergoing great changes.
