Squamous cell cancer of the trachea is an uncommon malignancy infrequently cured by either surgery or irradiation. Failure to control the primary tumor has been the most common cause for death. Our experience in three patients with small squamous cell cancer of the trachea treated by definitive irradiation is encouraging. The primary tumor was controlled in each patient. Histologic confirmation of tumor sterilization was observed in two. One patient remains alive and well at 54 months; one patient developed an epidural metastases at 16 months and subsequently died; and the third patient developed a separate primary lung cancer at 48 months. Two patients developed significant radiation complications.
气管鳞状细胞癌是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，手术或放疗都很少能将其治愈。未能控制原发肿瘤一直是最常见的死亡原因。我们对3例接受根治性放疗的气管小鳞状细胞癌患者的治疗经验令人鼓舞。每位患者的原发肿瘤都得到了控制。其中2例观察到肿瘤组织学上的完全消除。1例患者在54个月时仍存活且状况良好；1例患者在16个月时发生硬膜外转移，随后死亡；第3例患者在48个月时发生了另一个原发性肺癌。2例患者出现了严重的放疗并发症。
