Recent data on the treatment and outcome are limited. The aim of the present study was to present updated, national data on the incidence, characteristics, treatment and outcome for patients with tracheal cancer.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>All tracheal cancers registered at the Cancer Registry of Norway in 2000\u20132020 were extracted. The patient and tumour characteristics age, sex, stage, histology and treatment modality (surgery and radiotherapy) were examined. Overall, median and relative survival were estimated.

The mean age was 63.8\u2009years (range: 26\u201394). The numerical preponderance of men (n\u2009=\u200941) is not statistically significant. Eighteen patients (23.4%) were diagnosed in the localized stage. The 5-year overall survival was 31.7% [95% confidence interval (CI): 21.0\u201342.9], and in those treated with surgical resection or curative radiotherapy, it was 53.7% (95% CI: 26.1\u201375.0) and 37.8% (95% CI: 18.8\u201356.7), respectively. Age, histological type and treatment modality were identified as independent prognostic factors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Despite improved survival, the prognosis for patients with tracheal cancer is still poor.
