Lung Cancer ISESSION TYPE: Slide PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 02:15 PM - 03:45 PMPURPOSE: We have previously shown that timely restoration of airway patency with airway stenting in patients with malignant CAO provides both immediate palliation but also leads to improved survival. Radiation Therapy (RT) has also been used to improve airway patency in such cases. In this study, we analyze the additive salutary effects of combining airway stenting with RT for malignant CAO. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Andrew Evans, Sadiq Rehmani, Hassan Sheikh Moghaddas, Jordan Sasson, Sarah Almubarak, Shahzad Razi, Adnan Al-Ayoubi, Faiz BhoraNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
