Abstract:

Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) associated with thoracic malignancy can seriously affect patients’ long-term survival. Most of these patients have poor basic conditions and can only choose palliative treatment. Preventing TEF and diagnosing it early is key to potentially improving its long-term prognosis. The emergence of new diagnostic and treatment technologies has brought new hope to these patients. This article summarized the progress and prospect of thoracic tumor-related TEF in four parts: pathogenesis, diagnosis and classification, treatment and prognosis, hoping to provide some reference for clinical work.

Key words: Thoracic malignancies, Tracheoesophageal fistula, Esophageal bypass surgery, Stent
