Endobronchial metastasis (EM) is rare but associated with advanced cancer. Key poor prognostic factors include age over 70, head and neck cancers (excluding NPC), and main bronchus involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Endobronchial metastasis (EM) is an uncommon manifestation of advanced cancer.
  • Patients with EM typically have a poor prognosis, though aggressive treatment can lead to long-term survival in some cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of endobronchial metastasis.
  • To identify factors influencing survival in patients diagnosed with EM.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 9678 patients undergoing bronchoscopy.
  • Identification and analysis of 40 patients diagnosed with endobronchial metastasis.

Main Results:

  • Head and neck cancers were the most frequent primary tumors (10 nasopharyngeal carcinomas, 2 buccal, 2 glossal, 2 laryngeal).

  • Common symptoms included cough (50%), hemoptysis (20%), and dyspnea (15%).
  • Median survival was 12 months, significantly reduced in patients over 70, with main bronchus involvement, or with non-NPC head and neck primary tumors.

    • Conclusions:

    • Age over 70, primary head and neck cancer (non-NPC), and main bronchus metastasis are poor prognostic indicators.
    • These factors are crucial for risk stratification and treatment planning in EM patients.
    • Further research may explore targeted therapies for these high-risk groups.
