%X Introduction. Despite advances in therapy, esophageal cancer (EC) is recently became one of
most incurable cancers, especially when it leads to dysphagia. Hence there is a need for
develop the optimum management options. Aim. This study presents the experience of
treating 464 patients with inoperable stages of esophageal cancer. The causes of inoperable
behavior in this type of patients have been identified. Methods. A total of 249 patients were
subjected to the following various options of minimally invasive interventions: endoscopic
diathermotunnelization (EDT) in 38 (15.3%), endoscopic bougienage (EB) in 18 (7.2%) and
endoscopic stenting (ES) in 193 (77.5%) patients. Results. Improved methods of minimally
invasive interventions, as well as the nature of possible complications during their use were
presented. Conclusion. It is concluded that the installation of endoscopic stenting with self-
expanding metal stents (SEMS) with an antireflux valve in the treatment of non-operable EC
stages with dysphagia syndrome is the most safe, effective and fast treatment method for
dysphagia relief with a greater efficiency and the less frequency of complications especially
when conventional silicone and rigid stents is used.
