Meanings of malignant dysphagia in anglès

We evaluated the outcome of HDR brachytherapy in patients with malignant dysphagia.

Conclusion: HDR brachytherapy is a moderately effective treatment for the palliation of malignant dysphagia.

Forty patients with histologically confirmed malignant dysphagia were randomized to either endoscopic intubation or laser recanalization.

Laser recanalization provides effective palliation for malignant dysphagia.

Conclusions: All 3 covered metal stents evaluated offer the same degree of palliation of patients with malignant dysphagia.

Background: There are currently 3 types of covered metal stents available in Europe for palliation of patients with malignant dysphagia.

Conclusions: The conventional stent and the new stent were equally effective in the relief of malignant dysphagia and sealing fistulae.

Between January 2007 and July 2010, 93 patients with malignant dysphagia because of esophageal carcinoma underwent placement of self-expandable metallic stents in our hospital.

A group of 141 patients with biopsy-proved malignant dysphagia, treated with neodymium YAG laser between April 1985 and November 1988, have been prospectively evaluated.
