Reply to the Letter to the Editor: Surgery, selection, or biology in lung metastasectomy for colorectal lung metastasectomy? PulMiCC may not provide all the answers but it does narrow down the question

We just read the Letter to the Editor of Tom Treasure and Misal Milosevic to our manuscript entitled “The impact of primary tumor location on prognosis after colorectal lung metastasectomy” published in your Journal in August this year. On the one hand, we are very honored and thankful that Tom Treasure and Misal Milosevic congratulated us for our data, because they are two authors who really keep analyzing the impact of pulmonary metastasectomy in patients with colorectal cancer [1]. On the other hand, we want to clarify the statement that it is unfair that we mentioned that the PulMiCC trial was stopped due to poor recruitment [2]. It was not our intention to be unfair; we just cited the conclusions of the PulMiCC trial: “Because of poor and worsening recruitment, the study was stopped” [3]. In total, we are looking forward for new results in the field of pulmonary metastasectomy in patients with colorectal cancer. Best regards, Stefan Sponholz and Joachim Schirren. References
