title: [Palliative intubation under fibre-endoscopic control in cancer of the esophagus and cardia (24 cases) (author's transl)].
abstract: Positioning of the intra-esophageal prothesis under fibre-endoscopic control sets up a simple and effective method as a palliative treatment of dysphagia in patients with esophageal cancers unable to take advantage of curative treatment. It makes  the short survival of those patients more comfortable with a low mortality rate. An X-Ray-therapy may be associated.
