[Radiotherapy for cystadenoma of the trachea].

Radiation as a method of treatment was carried out in 16 (25.0%) out of 64 patients with tracheal adenocystoma (radical dosage of 50-70 Gy (12) and palliative--40-48 Gy (4).

Complete resorption of tumor was registered in 12, partial--3, no effect in 1 cases. Three-, five- and ten-year survival was 65.2 +/- 12.6; 55.9 +/- 13.5 and 10.4 +/- 13.1%, respectively.
