[Immediate relief in malignant respiratory tract neoplasms by endoscopic neodymium-YAG laser treatment].

Abstract
Primary and secondary malignant tumours in the central airways can cause obstruction or chronic haemoptyses. Conventional forms of treatment are insufficient. Bronchoscopic Neodymium-YAG laser treatment, hitherto unused in Sweden, can give immediate palliation, Indications and contraindications are given, and the first fourteen patients treated are presented.
