In this retrospective cohort study, pulmonary metastasectomy and SABR had comparable overall survival, local recurrence-free survival, and complication rates, despite patients in the SABR group having a significantly lower progression-free survival and local control rate. These data would support a randomized controlled trial comparing surgery and SABR in operable patients with radically resectable colorectal pulmonary metastases.
