Abstract
In the palliative treatment of malignant esophageal stenosis endoscopic laser therapy and intracavitary radiation currently represent the best alternative. The results achieved with elimination of dysphagia, duration of the complaint-free interval, survival period, and complications are presented from a group of 167 patients. Referring to the quality of life, an evolving tendency towards the use of laser therapy instead of endoscopic intubation is reported.
