Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Bronchoscopic biopsy confirmed as tracheal squamous cell carcinoma by pathologicalexamination

  2. PET-CT confirmed no metastasis;

  3. ECOG physical status score 0-1;

  4. Bronchoscopy, and chest CT is evaluated as early or locally advanced trachealmalignant tumor, and radical surgery is expected to be feasible or after neoadjuvanttherapy.

  5. Age ≥ 18 years;

Unsterilized male patients must voluntarily takeeffective contraceptive measures ≥ 120 days after chemotherapy or the lastadministration of Nivolumab, whichever is the latter.

  9. Sign informed consent;

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Study Description

Primary tracheal tumors are rare, comprising 0.01-0.4% of all cancer cases. Most airway tumors present with non-specific symptoms, such as shortness of breath and a sore throat, which may not be attributable to the tumors themselves, leading to diagnostic delay. With limited treatment options, surgical resection is considered the cornerstone therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy is recommended as standard treatment for the early stages (stage IB/II) and locally advanced stages (stage IIIA) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Whether neoadjuvant therapy affects subsequent pathological or surgical outcomes of primary tracheal tumors remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize the outcomes of neoadjuvant therapy for the treatment of primary tracheal squamous cell carcinoma.
