Abstract
A 49-year-old woman with a tracheoesophageal fistula due to advanced lung cancer was successfully treated by a stent using an intratracheal silicone prosthesis (Dumon type). The use of a Dumon tube proved to effectively palliate the fistulization and thus resulted in a dramatic improvement of the patient's quality of life.Entities:
