“…Nos casos de doença extensa inoperável, a radioterapia pode atingir igualmente bons resultados, com uma sobrevida média esperada de 6,2 anos 5 . Até à data não parece existir quimioterapia eficaz para a doença irressecável, mas a combinação de fotorressecção por laser com a radioterapia endobrônquica e transtorácica pode atingir sobrevidas razoáveis 6,10 . Num caso, a braquiterapia endobrônquica foi também eficaz na doença recorrente 3 .…”

“…These additional spot treatments can be given in the form of external beam radiation if maximal tolerable doses have not been given. If additional external radiation is contraindicated, endolumenal brachytherapy can be used as a mode of delivering additional radiation to precise locations of recurrence [19][20][21]. A variety of specific modalities have been used in brachytherapy including Cs-137 or Ir-192 pellets lowered into endotracheal delivery catheters or Au-198 seeds implanted directly into and around tumors.…”

Primary tracheal tumors are rare neoplasms which often present with indolent and nonspecific symptoms. Despite a tendency for late presentation, more than half of patients with benign and malignant neoplasms will be candidates for curative resection upon diagnosis. This review describes the diagnostic and staging evaluation of tracheal neoplasms. Curative surgical procedures including laryngotracheal resection, tracheal resection, and carinal resection are discussed. Palliative therapies such as external beam radiation, endolumenal brachytherapy, bronchoscopic laser resection, and endoprosthetic stenting are reviewed.

“…Endotracheal brachytherapy has been touted as a method of delivering high-dose radiotherapy while minimizing local complications [39]. Case reports suggest safe and effective symptom palliation when combining this technique with external beam irradiation [40,41].…”

Patients with tracheal involvement from primary or secondary neoplasms usually present with relatively nonspecific symptoms of cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath. Prompt diagnosis often requires a high index of suspicion. Tomography or computed tomography of the chest will often confirm the presence of a tracheal lesion. A detailed rigid bronchoscopic assessment by an experienced thoracic surgeon is essential for establishing the extent of tracheal involvement. Although advanced tumor stage often precludes surgical resection, the application of current operative techniques allows a significant number of tracheal tumors to be completely excised and primarily reconstructed. Adjuvant radiotherapy is often employed with surgical resection to improve local control and enhance the potential for cure.
