Primary chemoradiation as definitive treatment for unresectable cancer of the trachea.

摘要: A 64-year-old man was diagnosed with unresectable cancer of the trachea. He treated definitively a novel chemoradiation regimen. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy (ChT) given for two cycles as induction, followed by concurrent administration this ChT external beam radiotherapy (RT) (total dose 60 Gy). An unexpected partial tumour response noted after induction alone. Six weeks finishing ChT/RT, complete lesion on computed tomography imaging. Two years later, patient free disease. Primary appears to be effective in managing locally advanced tracheal cancer.
