Therapeutic bronchoscopy using laser or stent treatments significantly improved outcomes for 80-90% of patients with benign or malignant lower airway tumors. This procedure is essential for select patient groups.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Interventional Endoscopy

Context:

  • Laser treatment for lower airway tumors initiated in Norway in 1985.
  • Therapeutic bronchoscopy has evolved as a key treatment modality.
  • Rikshospitalet University Hospital has extensive experience with these procedures.

Purpose:

  • To survey patient outcomes following therapeutic bronchoscopy.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of laser, stent, or combined treatments for airway lesions.
  • To assess the role of therapeutic bronchoscopy in managing malignant and benign conditions.

Summary:

  • A survey of 192 patients treated with therapeutic bronchoscopy (laser, stent, or both) over four years.
  • 97 patients had malignant disease, and 95 had benign lesions.
