RESUMO

O carcinoma primário da traqueia é uma entidade rara, cuja abordagem terapêutica clássica consiste na exérese cirúrgica da lesão com margens adequadas.

Contudo, devido ás características intrinsecas destas lesões, nem sempre é possível a realização deste tratamento com intuito curativo. A radioterapia assume-se hoje em dia como uma alternativa válida na terapêutica destas lesões. Os autores descrevem 2 casos clínicos de carcinoma primário da traqueia tratados com radioterapia no Instituto Português de Oncologia – Centro do Porto, fazendo uma revisão da literatura sobre este assunto.

ABSTRACT

Primary carcinoma of the trachea is a rare malignancy. Classic therapeutic management usually consisted in surgical excision with wide margins. The characteristics of these lesions make this treatment approach a difficult task. some times impossible to perform with curative intent. Radiation therapy presents as the alternative treatment of choice in these cases. The authors describe two clinical cases of primary tracheal carcinoma treated with radiation therapy alone in Instituto Português de Oncologia – Centro do Porto, and also make a literature revue on this subject.
