  • Title: [Esophageal tube in inoperable esophageal and cardia cancer: indications and technique].
    Author: Fuchs KH, Freys SM, Schaube H.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl II Verh Dtsch Ges Chir; 1990; ():197-204. PubMed ID: 1724197.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic tube implantation remains still one of the alternatives in palliation of inoperable patients with malignant stenosis of the esophagus and cardia. Although LASER-treatment has less complications, patients in poor general condition, patients with tracheo-esophageal fistulas, patients with external compression of the esophageal lumen, are clear indications for tube implantation. The right choice of palliative technique should depend on the individual situation of the patient.
