title: [Cryotherapeutic destruction of invasive tracheo-bronchial tumors. Personal case histories].
abstract: Data are presented on 15 cases of invasive tracheobronchial tumours subjected to cryotherapy in 1984-85. The technique is indicated in patients who cannot be given surgical or radiation treatment and in cases of asphyxial syndrome requiring faster deobstruction than is obtainable with radiation treatment.
