We have proposed a palliative method for common forms of lung cancer, which combines the two previously mentioned methods. Using this method allows not only to stop the lung bleeding, but restore airway passage of the bronchi and then continue with the treatment of lung cancer (chemotherapy, radiotherapy). We used this method in 16 patients with age group from 54 to 76 years, with central lung cancer III A–IV stages, who had lung hemorrhage and atelectasis of bronchus. In the first step, rentgenendovascular embolization of bronchial artery (REVEBA) and their branches approaching to the tumor is performed. In the next stage, the patients underwent laser recanalization of tumor stenosis of the segmental or main bronchi. We were able to achieve a positive hemostatic effect in 15 patients, which was seen throughout first 5 months. Recanalization and restoration of the bronchial airway was achieved in all the patients. All these factors allowed the patients undergo subsequent radiation and chemotherapy. Tumor relapse, recurrence of stenosis and pulmonary bleeding have not been observed during the first 5 months. Possibilities of using the adove mentioned methods in the treatment of common forms of lung cancer have been shown.
