    Abstract:
    Treatment of squamous-cell tracheal tumors was given to 85 patients. Surgery was carried out in 48 (56.5%), radical resection--22 (25.9%). Distant metastases detected preoperatively in 19 (22.4%) patients were an absolute contraindication for radical surgery. Combined therapy was received by 14 cases without any grave postoperative complications. Three- and five-year survival after combined and surgical treatment was 59.9 +/- 10.5 and 40.9 +/- 10.5%, respectively. Radiation was given to 48 (56.5%) patients. This group included 26 cases of palliative operations and exploratory laparatomy. Three- and five-year survival after radiation was 30.1 +/- 6.7 and 27.6 +/- 6.7%, respectively.
