Radiation Therapy for Primary Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Trachea: Photons, Protons, or Carbon

Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea (ACC-T) is an extremely rare cancer of the central bronchial system. It is usually associated with an excellent prognosis. Surgery is the standard treatment for resectable tumors, while radiation therapy is used for unresectable tumors or medically ino...

description Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea (ACC-T) is an extremely rare cancer of the central bronchial system. It is usually associated with an excellent prognosis. Surgery is the standard treatment for resectable tumors, while radiation therapy is used for unresectable tumors or medically inoperable patients. Radiation therapy can be delivered with photons, protons, or carbon ion therapy. In this report, we review a case of unresectable ACC-T in a middle-aged female patient who was treated with radiation therapy and review the potential benefits of the different types of radiation therapy.
