“…Tracheal and main bronchial obstructions are treated by bronchoscopic interventions (laser debulking, cryotherapy, airway stenting, photodynamic therapy, endobronchial brachytherapy) [204,205]. Palliative radiotherapy is often used subsequently [204,205]. Tracheo-oesophageal fistulas are best palliated by insertion of a covered stent in the oesophagus and a stent in the airway to prevent secondary collapse of the airway [206].…”

Surgery remains the best curative option in patients with early stage lung cancer (stage I and II). Developments in minimally invasive techniques now allow surgeons to perform lung resections on elderly patients, patients with poor pulmonary function or significant cardiopulmonary comorbidities. New techniques, such as stereotactic radiotherapy and ablative procedures, are being evaluated in early-stage lung cancer and may represent an alternative to surgery in patients unfit for lung resection. Perioperative mortality rates have dropped significantly at most institutions in the past two decades and complications are managed more efficiently. Progress in imaging and staging techniques have helped cut futile thoracotomy rates and offer patients the most adequate treatment options. Large randomised trials have helped clarify the role of neoadjuvant, induction and adjuvant chemotherapy, as well as radiotherapy. Surgery remains an essential step in the multimodality therapy of selected patients with advanced-stage lung cancer (stage III and IV). Interventional and endoscopic techniques have reduced the role of surgery in the diagnosis and staging of nonsmall cell lung cancer, but surgery remains an important tool in the palliation of advanced-stage lung cancer. Large national/international surgical databases have been developed and predictive risk-models for surgical mortality/morbidity published by learned surgical societies. Nonetheless, lung cancer overall survival rates remain deceptively low and it is hoped that early detection/screening, better understanding of tumour biology and development of biomarkers, and development of efficient targeted therapies will help improve the prognosis of lung cancer patients in the next decade. @ERSpublications Despite progress in surgical techniques, radiotherapy techniques and targeted therapy, lung cancer prognosis remains poor

“…[3] However, complications associated with SEMS are not uncommon and include occlusion by granulation tissue formation, tumour ingrowth, difficult retrieval, stent fracture, migration, haemoptysis and infectious tracheobronchitis. [4,6,7] We report a rare case of failure of expansion of a covered SEMS during tracheal stenting.…”

“…[1][2][3] Recanalization of the obstructed airway by a stent has been proven to relieve dyspnoea and delay respiratory failure, allowing definitive therapy for cancer such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy to be carried out. [3][4][5] Where silicone stents are preferred in benign diseases but require rigid bronchoscopy, metal stents inserted via flexible bronchoscopy are a feasible alternative for the recanalization of malignant central airway obstruction with palliative intent. They are deployed either via a balloon-expandable or self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) system, and are available in either uncovered or covered forms.…”

Twenty to thirty percent of patients with lung cancer present with central airway obstruction. Self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) is effective for recanalization of such lesions when caused by extrinsic compression, with the advantage of ease of deployment with a flexible bronchoscope. We report a case of failure of expansion of a SEMS during tracheal stenting. To our knowledge this is a first report documenting this rare complication.
