DOI: 10.1016/j.pulmoe.2021.02.003

Abstract: Central airway obstruction develops in a significant proportion of lung cancer patients and many other cancers through metastasis. Tumors that cause obstruction of the trachea and the main bronchi are often inoperable. Airway stenting is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-10719-2

Abstract: Anemia is known to correlate with tumor progression, which can result in narrowing of the airways. Although therapeutic bronchoscopy effectively manages central airway stenosis, restenosis frequently occurs. This study aimed to examine the relationship between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1676574

Abstract: Abstract Benign central airway obstruction (CAO) is responsible for significant morbidity due to dyspnea and impaired quality of life. While iatrogenic causes, including stenosis after endotracheal intubation, tracheostomy tube placement, and surgery, account for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1747937

Abstract: Benign central airway obstruction is commonly referred as nonmalignant central airway obstruction (NMCAO). This is in part related to its lack of benign nature and significant life-quality impairment in patients. It is a pathologic entity… read more here.
