Abstract

Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) often develops in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (APC). It is not clear whether endoscopic duodenal stenting (DS) or surgical gastrojejunostomy (GJJ) is preferable as palliative treatment. To compare the efficacy and safety of GJJ and DS for GOO with APC. Consecutive 99 patients who underwent DS or GJJ for GOO with APC were evaluated. We compared the technical and clinical success rates, the incidence of adverse event (AE), the time to start chemotherapy and discharge and survival durations between DS and GJJ. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were investigated on the multivariate analysis. GOO was managed with GJJ in 35 and DS in 64. The technical and clinical success rates were comparable. DS was associated with shorter time to start oral intake and earlier chemotherapy start and discharge. No difference was seen in the early and late AE rates. Multivariate analyses of prognostic factors for OS showed that performance status ≧2, administration of chemotherapy, and presence of obstructive jaundice to be significant factors. There were no significant differences in survival durations between the groups, regardless of the PS. There were no significant differences in...Continue Reading
