Bronchoplastic procedures for carcinoid tumors

Marco Anile et al. Thorac Surg Clin. 2014 Aug.

Abstract

Carcinoid tumors are rare lung neoplasms. They may arise centrally or peripherally. For central lesions, bronchoplastic procedures, particularly sleeve resections, are safe and should be the reference for treatment when anatomically and oncologically indicated, independently from pulmonary function.

Keywords: Bronchoplastic procedure; Carcinoid tumor; Neuroendocrine tumor; Sleeve resection.
