Tracheal Tumors

Tracheal tumors are rare growths that develop in the trachea, the tube that carries air to and from the lungs. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may cause symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing. They can occur due to various factors, including genetic predispositions and environmental exposures. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and sometimes biopsies. Treatment options vary, but may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, depending on the tumor's type and stage. Early detection and management are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with tracheal tumors.
