AB  - Esophageal  cancer  has  an  incidence  that  varies  between  12,000  and  18,000  new  cases/year.  Unfortunately,  the  overall  survival  for  esophageal  cancer  is  dismal  because  patients  usually  present  when  symptomatic  with  dysphagia  and/or  weight  loss,  by  which  time  the  tumor  has  metastasized.  The  symptoms  from  an  obstructing  esophageal  tumor  can  have  a  significant  impact  on  quality  of  life.  Fortunately,  palliative  treatment  options  of  limited  risk  are  available  which  can  improve  swallowing,  allow  for  continued  oral  intake,  and  help  prevent  aspiration.
