    Author: Maipang T, Punpherk S, Naimusa A.
    Journal: J Med Assoc Thai; 1990 May; 73(5):274-8. PubMed ID: 1698904.
    Abstract:
    Six patients with obstructing esophageal carcinoma who were poor candidates for surgery were treated by endoscopic electrocautery. All of them were able to swallow well after 3 sessions of treatment. Endoscopic electrocautery is effective in palliative management of esophageal carcinoma, inexpensive and can be done with acceptable complications.
