Abstract:
A 54-year-old male was diagnosed as having synchronous quadruple early stage lung cancer. All four tumors showed the same histologic type of in-situ or microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma, but existed independently in different bronchi. Photodynamic therapy of these four lesions was successfully performed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy because of the patient's poor pulmonary function. The patient is alive and well 51 months later.
