  • Title: [Intraluminal endoscopic surgery in prevention and palliation of dysphagia induced by esophageal cancer (methods, technique and immediate results)].
    Author: Shcherbakov AM.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 2004; 50(4):462-6. PubMed ID: 15605773.
    Abstract:
    A procedure of argon-plasma coagulation is suggested to be used alone or in conjunction with chemical necrolysis and high-frequency electrosurgery for endoscopic palliation of dysphagia. Its outstanding impact on tumor-induced dysphagia, involving no life-threatening complications, was demonstrated in a group of 97 patients. A number of basic factors immediately influencing the results of therapy are outlined and relevant recommendations on clinical use are provided.
