First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two endoscopic procedures—EUS-guided gastroenterostomy and metal stent placement—for relieving stomach blockage caused by cancer. Researchers will track 200 patients to see which procedure works better, focusing on how long relief lasts, ability to eat, and quality of life. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help patients eat normally again.

- Active substance
- Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) or enteral metal stent placement
- What this could lead to
- If this study shows one procedure is clearly better, it could help doctors choose the best way to relieve stomach blockage in cancer patients, improving their ability to eat and their quality of life.
