Abstract

A 60-year-old man with nonresectable lung cancer underwent bronchoscopy which revealed a large squamous cell tumor mass narrowing the free airway to the left lung. A flexible quartz fiber connected to an argon ion laser was then inserted through a hollow channel of the fiberoptic bronchoscope. The laser was activated to heat the metal cap on the distal tip of the fiber to thermally dissolve the mass and relieve airway obstruction.

摘要

一名60岁的不可切除肺癌患者接受了支气管镜检查，结果显示一个大的鳞状细胞瘤块使通向左肺的气道变窄。然后，将一根连接氩离子激光的柔性石英纤维通过纤维支气管镜的空心通道插入。激活激光以加热纤维远端的金属帽，从而热溶解瘤块并缓解气道阻塞。
