Ten-year survival after endoscopic stenting as a bridge to surgery in obstructing colon cancer

Self-expandable metallic stents are increasingly used in the treatment of obstructing colorectal cancer (CRC). Although endoscopic colonic stenting is widely accepted in palliation, disagreement exists about its role in a curative setting. This study aims to describe long-term survival data in a large patient group, treated with colonic stenting as a bridge to surgery (BTS) for CRC.
