“…Brachytherapy is the strategy with the highest probability of cost-effectiveness of all values yielding a positive net health benefit the advent of endoluminal therapies have permitted improvement in survival and delivery of effective methods of palliation using less invasive techniques and at lower costs. Different modalities such as Nd:YAG laser, SES and brachytherapy, are available, and numerous studies have validated their efficacy [4,[6][7][8][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Although palliation can be achieved with any one of the existent techniques, a systematic, cost-effective approach to manage this condition was lacking.…”

Auf der UEGW gab es vorwiegend bestätigende Fallserien v. a. über Kolorektalstent in der Palliation [160] und bei der Überbrückung bis zu einer Operation ("bridge to surgery") [161].…”
