A case of a 56 year-old man with adenoid cystic carcinoma in the middle and the lower trachea which was successful treated by multidisciplinary treatment is reported. The tracheal stenosis was improved from 90% to 60% by endoscopic Nd-YAG laser irradiation (total: 20, 000 joules). Then bronchial arterial infusion therapy with 15 million units of interferon ß, intratumor injection therapy with 2 million units of interferon ß through a bronchofiberscope, and 660 cGy. of fast neutron irradiation were performed. The tumor disappeared entirely macroscopically, following these multidisciplinary modalities and the patient has been well for four years since treatment started.
