Fifty-eight of 418 patients identified initially, met the inclusion criteria (primary TC with confirmed histology and complete treatment records). Standard statistical tests were used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"j_raon-2016-0046_s_003_w2aab3b8c29b1b7b1aab1c15b3Aa\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; 63.8%) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC; 15.5%) were the most commonly diagnosed histological types of TC. Radiotherapy was delivered in 48 cases, surgery or endoscopic resection in 20, and chemotherapy in 14. TC was diagnosed as a second cancer in 10 patients, in 1 patient it occurred prior to the lung cancer, and in 1 was diagnosed simultaneously. During the median follow-up of 12.7 months, 85.5% of the patients died because of the disease. Local recurrence occurred in 17% cases. In univariate analysis, patients with ACC had statistically better five-year overall survival (77.8%) than those diagnosed with SCC (8.4%, p = 0.0001). Radiotherapy, performance status and haemoptysis were factors significantly influencing overall survival (OS) in the multivariate analysis. Among patients who were not treated surgically, 15\u201326% were found to constitute additional surgery candidates, depending on the selection criteria.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"j_raon-2016-0046_s_004_w2aab3b8c29b1b7b1aab1c15b4Aa\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The diagnostic workup should be focused on the identification of TC patients suitable for invasive treatment and radiotherapy. Respiratory system cancer survivors can be considered a risk group for tracheal cancer.
