Diagnostic challenge and survival analysis of pulmonary oligometastases and primary lung cancer in breast cancer patients.

Elevated serum CYFRA 21-1 levels and late-stage breast cancer may be beneficial for the diagnosis of POM. CT imaging appearances of the subsolid component, lobulation, air bronchogram, and pleural indentation increase the likelihood of PLC. Breast cancer patients with PLC presented better survival with attentive monitoring than those with POM.
