Adrenalectomy for solid tumor metastases: Results of a multicenter European study

Background. We assessed the results of adienalectomy for solid tumor metastases in 317 patients recruited from 30 European Centers. Methods. Patients with histologically proven adrenal metastatic disease and undergoing complete removal(s) of the affected.gland(s) were eligible. Results. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was the most frequent tumor type followed by colorectal and renal cell carcinoma. Adrenal metastases were synchronous 6 months) in 73 (23%) patients and isolated in 213 (67%). The median disease-free interval was 18.5 months. Laparoscopic resection was used in 46% of patients. Surgery was limited to the adrenal gland in 73% of patients and RO resection was achieved in 86% of cases. The median overall survival was 29 months (95 % confidence interval,. 24.69733.30). The survival rates at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years were 80%, 61%,. 42%, and 35%, respectively. Patients with renal" cancer showed a median survival of 84 months, patients with NSCLC 26 months, and patients with colorectal cancer 29 months (P =.017). Differences in survival between metachronous and synchronous lesions were also significant (30 vs 23 months; P =.038). Conclusion. Surgical removal of adrenal metastasis is associated with long-term survival in se
