SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PRIMARY MALIGNANT TUMORS OF THE TRACHEA

Abstract

The authors have performed 18 circular resections of the trachea (CRT) for adenocystic cancer and typical carcinoid. In 10 of these patients more than 5 cm of the tracheal segment were ablated. Postoperative radiotherapy was made on 8 patients with adenocystic cancer with lengthy CRT. Immediate and long-term results were good that allowed the authors to recommend a single-stage circular resection of the trachea in treatment of high differentiated forms of cancer.
