Several international registries, including 4 from Europe-Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons-are dedicated to addressing deficiencies in pulmonary metastasectomy research. The randomized PulMiCC and SABR-COMET trials provide contradictory outcomes and new randomized trials have been initiated. Europe's metastasectomy approach transitioned from open thoracotomy to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, with 72% of surgeons favoring minimally invasive methods by 2023. European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines recommend surgery for completely resectable lesions and propose ablative approaches as supplementary or alternative treatments for inoperable cases due to frailty or unfavorable anatomy.
