Abstract

Advances in chemo-radiotherapy and cancer surgery are changing the landscape of esophageal stent insertion. Where previously patients received stents for end-stage esophageal carcinoma with a poor prognosis, long-term survival is beginning to become the norm. In addition more patients are undergoing radical surgery and consequently more patients are presenting with disease relapse in altered anatomy. Furthermore, patients with extra- esophageal cancer can require stent insertion, but their underlying disease may run a different course from esophageal cancer. We illustrate the challenges for stent performance, material longevity and forward thinking of the operator presented by the change in disease spectrum and behavior.

食管支架:超出单纯性狭窄

化疗放疗和肿瘤手术的进展正在改变食管支架置入的前景。对于先前接受支架治疗预后不良的终末期食管癌患者，长期生存开始成为常态。此外，越来越多的患者正在接受根治性手术，因此越来越多的患者在解剖结构改变的情况下出现疾病复发。此外，食管癌外的患者可能需要植入支架，但他们的潜在疾病可能与食管癌的病程不同。我们说明了疾病谱系和行为的变化所带来的支架性能、材料寿命和操作人员前瞻性思维的挑战。

期刊介绍： IJGII (pISSN 2636-0004, eISSN 2636-0012) was published four times a year on the last day of January, April, July, and October, which has effected from January 1 in 2019. This Journal was first published biannually on June and December, beginning in December 2012 under the title ‘Gastrointestinal Intervention’ (former pISSN 2213-1795, eISSN 2213-1809) and was changed to be published three times a year from 2016. Commencing with the January 2019 issue, the Journal was renamed ‘International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention’. As the official journal of the Society of Gastrointestinal Intervention (SGI), International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention (IJGII) delivers original, peer-reviewed articles for gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, gastrointestinal oncologists, nurses and technicians who need current and reliable information on the interventional treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatopancreaticobiliary diseases. Regular features also include ‘state-of-the-art’ review articles by leading authorities throughout the world. IJGII will become an international forum for the description and discussion of the various aspects of interventional radiology, endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery.
