Objective To evaluate clinical feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic metal stenting combined with radiotherapy for treatment of medium and late stages of esophageal carcinoma. Methods Thirty-four patients of late stage esophageal carcinoma were treated with endoscopic stent implantation in combination with radiotherapy. Evaluations of CES stainless steel metal stent on the effect of radiation, clinical symptom alleviation and complication and survival rates in both groups were made. Conclusion Endoscopic metal stenting in combination with radiotherapy was a feasible and practical management in treating medium and late stages esophageal carcinoma and was superior to simple metal stent implantation.
