Frequently advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer was invasive trachea and occurred with hemoptysis or dyspnea. Occasionally, these cases were treated by a placement of tracheal stent for hemostasis and an establishment of airway for life saving. We experimented the four cases of recurrent esophageal cancer with tracheal invasion treated by a placement of tracheal stent. These 4 cases were for patients treated with no prior chemotherapy (CRT) had a better prognosis and quality of life (QOL) than the patient with a placement of tracheal stent after CRT. Therefore, the patient without CRT was a good indication to a placement of tracheal stent. However, even if the patient of previously performed CRT, it was important and effective treatment that a placement of tracheal stent was avoided the state of lethal condition with dyspnea.

Frequently advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer was invasive trachea and often causing hemoptysis, stenosis and dyspnea. Occasionally, these cases were treated by a placement of tracheal stent. The placement effect was quickly and a main symptom of dyspnea was improved dramatically. However, the most of the cases were in poor prognosis with advanced cancer treated by chemo-radiotherapy (CRT). We experienced a case of recurrent esophageal cancer with tracheal invasion treated by placement of tracheal expandable metallic stent (EMS). A case was a 73-year-old man (at first admission). He was performed esophagectomy with tracheotomy against esophageal carcinoma at cervical portion. Eighteen month later, a local recurrence with tracheal invasion was appeared. The tracheal covered stent was inserted at the recurrent site. After stenting, CRT was performed with 5-FU and docetaxel. The effect of CRT was complete response (CR). Hence, a stent was removed from trachea. No recurrence was observed at the site and maintained a CR condition for two years after CRT.
