title: [Four cases of recurrent esophageal cancer with tracheal invasion treated by a placement of tracheal stent].
abstract: Frequently advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer was invasive trachea and occurred with hemoptysis or dyspnea. Occasionally, these cases were treated by a placement of tracheal stent for hemostasis and an establishment of airway for life saving. We experimented the four cases of recurrent esophageal cancer with tracheal invasion treated by a placement of tracheal stent. These 4 cases were for patients treated with no prior chemotherapy (CRT) had a better prognosis and quality of life (QOL) than the patient with a placement of tracheal stent after CRT. Therefore, the patient without CRT was a good indication to a placement of tracheal stent. However, even if the patient of previously performed CRT, it was important and effective treatment that a placement of tracheal stent was avoided the state of lethal condition with dyspnea.
