Abstract:
The types of endoscopic interventions available for supporting the nutrition of patients with cancer have expanded in recent years to encompass a wide variety of different techniques and procedures. Many of these procedures reflect refinements of technique that have existed for some time, whereas others are implementations of novel technologies and instruments that have only become available in recent years. In this review, the authors seek to summarize the breadth of endoscopic techniques for maintaining nutrition in patients with cancer.
