Endobronchial Disease

Endobronchial disease may occur when any tumor develops in the airways. For some lung cancers located near the central airways, breathing can become difficult as cancer progresses. There are treatment options to help improve breathing for patients with endobronchial disease.

Fox Chase Cancer Center specialists can treat larger obstructions with laser or cryotherapy debulking techniques, stent placement, and effective short-term, high-dose radiation (HDR) brachytherapy.
