In the past, management of this group of

                   patients is mainly palliative due to the


                   inability of tumour exposure in the

                   cervico-thoracic region.






                   MR enables tumour exposure and

                   resection under direct vision.







                   Not only are patients offered effective

                   palliation        of      symptoms, but                 more

                   importantly a chance of cure.
