Endoscopic esophageal dilation, laser therapy, and plastic and metal stent placement provide effective palliation of dysphagia in most patients with esophageal cancer. Because the techniques and indication are still being refined, the choice of endoscopic palliation should be based on patient-specific factors such as location and character of the tumor and more importantly on the availability of physician expertise.
内镜下食管扩张、激光治疗以及塑料和金属支架置入可为大多数食管癌患者有效缓解吞咽困难。由于这些技术和适应证仍在不断完善，内镜下姑息治疗的选择应基于患者的具体因素，如肿瘤的位置和特征，更重要的是取决于医生的专业水平。
