TreatmentCategory: MALIGNANT DISEASE OF THE ESOPHAGUS Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery Pedunculated malignant growths are readily removed with snare or punch forceps. Cure has resulted in one case of the author following bronchoscopic removal of an endothelioma from the bronchus; and a limited carcinoma of the bronchus has been reported cured by bronchoscopic removal, with cauterization of the base. Most of the cases, however, will be subjects for palliative tracheotomy and radium therapy. It will be found necessary in many of the cases to employ the author's long, cane-shaped tracheal cannula (Fig. 104, A), in order to pipe the air down to one or both bronchi past the projecting neoplasm. It has recently been demonstrated that following the intravenous injection of a suspension of the insoluble salt, radium sulphate, that the suspended particles are held in the capillaries of the lung for a period of one year. Intravenous injections of a watery suspension, and endobronchial injections of a suspension of radium sulphate in oil, have had definite beneficial action. While as yet, no relatively permanent cures of pulmonary malignancy have been obtained, the amelioration and steady improvement noted in the technic of radium therapy are so encouraging that every inoperable case should be thus treated, if the disease is not in a hopelessly advanced stage. In a case under the care of Dr. Robert M. Lukens at the Bronchoscopic Clinic, a primary epithelioma of the trachea was retarded for 2 years by the use of radium applied by Dr. William S. Newcomet, radium-therapist, and Miss Katherine E. Schaeffer, technician. Next: Malignant Disease Of The Esophagus Previous: Bronchoscopy In Malignant Growths Of The Trachea
