In Norway, laser treatment of tumours in lower airways started in 1985.
A survey is given of the 192 patients treated by therapeutic bronchoscopy during the last four years at Rikshospitalet University Hospital. 97 patients with malignant disease and 95 with benign lesions have been treated by either laser, stent or both.
The treatment results are judged from treatment intention. In both groups improvement was obtained in 80-90 % of patients. Five carcinoids were eradicated by laser, and three early cancers of squamous cell type. Two patients in the malignancy group died in connection with the treatment.
Therapeutic bronchoscopy has become a necessary treatment for a small, but varied group of patients.
在挪威,下呼吸道肿瘤的激光治疗始于1985年。
对过去四年在里克斯医院大学医院接受治疗性支气管镜检查的192例患者进行了调查。97例恶性疾病患者和95例良性病变患者接受了激光、支架或两者联合治疗。
根据治疗目的判断治疗结果。两组中80 - 90%的患者病情得到改善。5例类癌通过激光根除,3例早期鳞状细胞癌。恶性肿瘤组有2例患者在治疗过程中死亡。
治疗性支气管镜检查已成为一小部分但种类多样的患者的必要治疗手段。
