Radioactive Self-Expanding Stents Give Superior Palliation in Patients With Unresectable Cancer of the Esophagus but Should Be Used With Caution if They Have Had Prior Radiotherapy Ning Liu, MD, Shuguang Liu, MD, Cheng Xiang, MD, PhD, Ning Cong, MD, Bing Wang, MD, Bo Zhou, MD, Benwu Zhang, MD, Yuliang Li, MD, Yongzheng Wang, MD, Shuanghu Yuan, MD, PhD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 98, Issue 2, Pages 521-526 (August 2014) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.04.012 Copyright © 2014 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 The dysphagia grades significantly improved in both groups within the first month after stent placement (p < 0.01) and worsened at 3 months, but it was better in the irradiation stent group than in the traditional stent group (p = 0 .03).

Fig 2 The median survival was 4.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.5 to 4.5 months) in the irradiation stent group and 3.0 months (95% CI, 2.4 to 3.6 months) in the traditional stent group, respectively. The survival differences between the 2 groups were not significant (p = 0.064). (cum = cumulative.)
