ABSTRACT

Background:

Malignant tumors of the trachea are rare. A multimodality treatment approach is often necessary. Outcomes of radical non-surgical approaches are sparse. Radiation combined with sequential or concurrent chemotherapy is an important treatment option. Materials and

Methods:

We present an analysis of outcomes using modern radiotherapy and chemotherapy for tracheal tumors.

Results:

Radiation dose escalation using modern techniques is of benefit for these tumors. The results with chemotherapy are encouraging.

Conclusions:

Radiation plays a distinct role and should be a part of treatment for these tumors. The role of chemotherapy needs to be studied further.
