A 44-year old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the left lower lobe extending to the mucosa of the main carina, was treated with high dose rate brachytherapy prior to surgery. A significant reduction of tumor infiltration was achieved allowing a radical pneumonectomy instead of a sleeve pneumonectomy with resection of the main carina. He remains disease-free after a follow-up period of 43 months.
一名44岁男性,左下叶鳞状细胞癌已蔓延至主支气管隆突黏膜,术前接受了高剂量率近距离放射治疗。肿瘤浸润明显减少,从而可行根治性肺切除术,而非切除主支气管隆突的袖状肺叶切除术。在43个月的随访期后,他仍无疾病复发。
