Article Synopsis
- Tracheal stents can help relieve airway obstruction in patients with malignant tracheoesophageal fistula (MTEF) following immunotherapy, as demonstrated in a case study with a 58-year-old male.
- The patient experienced airway obstruction due to advanced esophageal cancer, and after receiving stents and immunotherapy, his condition remained stable despite the fistula's progression.
- The study suggests that using properly sized stents with immune therapies may enhance patient quality of life and potentially increase survival rates in those suffering from MTEF.
