Christopher Lyles, 30, had tracheal cancer that had progressed so far it was considered inoperable. In November, doctors made him a new windpipe - or trachea - made out of tiny plastic fibers seeded with stem cells from his own bone marrow.

Two months after his successful operation, Lyles arrived home in Md. last week.
