Abstract:
Adenoidcystic carcinoma and squamous carcinoma are the most common tracheal tumors. Resection and postoperative radiation therapy are the treatment of choice. Complete resection is the desired goal and demands knowledge of the principles of tracheal surgery. Benign tumors are best treated by resection and cure can be expected.
