Primary malignant tumors of the trachea: a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 79 patients treated in a single center

Primary malignant tumors of the trachea are rare, and the best treatment has not yet been determined. Although most patients in this center are treated via a variety of methods, whether this varied approach to treatment is the reason for the higher overall survival cannot be ascertained. Moreover, most patients in our center received a variety of treatments, so a survival analysis of specific treatment modalities was not possible. Thus, more studies involving more patients are needed to ascertain the optimal treatment plan for malignant tracheal tumors.
