Clinical Application of Iodine-Eluting Stent in Patients with Advanced Esophageal Cancer
Oncology Letters(2013)
摘要
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of an iodine-eluting stent with a conventional stent in patients with advanced esophageal cancer. Patients with malignant esophageal cancer were randomly assigned to receive a conventional stent (group A) or an iodine-eluting stent (group B). Following implantation, the relief from dysphagia, survival time, routine blood tests, thyroid function examination and complications were compared in the two groups. Groups A and B consisted of 36 and 31 patients, respectively. The mean value that the dysphagia score decreased by was significantly lower in group A (0.83) compared with group B (1.65). The median survival time was longer in group B compared with group A (P=0.0022). No significant differences were observed in the severe complications between the two groups (P=0.084). The iodine-eluting esophageal stent is a relatively safe, feasible and effective treatment for malignant esophageal strictures.
