Summary

This study looked at 112 adults with stomach blockage caused by advanced cancer. It compared two less invasive procedures: one using an ultrasound-guided bypass and the other using a stent to open the blockage. The goal was to see which method better prevents the blockage from coming back and helps patients eat again.
