[A case report of relapsed esophageal cancer with tracheal stenosis treated with expandable metallic stent placement].
A 63-year-old male who suffered from relapsed esophageal cancer in the thoracic lymphonode causing severe tracheal stenosis, was treated by expandable metallic stent (EMS) placement. Dyspnea has disappeared immediately after EMS placement and the patient has been free from dyspnea until his death. EMS has been very effective for the therapy of tracheal stenosis by esophageal cancer.
