Published literature discussing factors influencing prognosis in primary malignancy of the trachea is reviewed. Twenty-four patients with primary tracheal malignancies presenting during an 11 year period are discussed. Review of their radiological investigations demonstrate that extratracheal extension correlates with poor prognosis whereas vertical length of tumors does not. Overall five year survival in this series is 30%. Patients with extratracheal extension show 18% five year survival while those with only intraluminal disease show 50% survival.
本文回顾了已发表的关于影响原发性气管恶性肿瘤预后因素的文献。讨论了11年间出现的24例原发性气管恶性肿瘤患者。对他们的影像学检查回顾表明，气管外扩展与预后不良相关，而肿瘤的垂直长度则不然。该系列患者的总体五年生存率为30%。有气管外扩展的患者五年生存率为18%，而仅患有腔内疾病的患者生存率为50%。
