Abstract
Six patients with obstructing esophageal carcinoma who were poor candidates for surgery were treated by endoscopic electrocautery. All of them were able to swallow well after 3 sessions of treatment. Endoscopic electrocautery is effective in palliative management of esophageal carcinoma, inexpensive and can be done with acceptable complications.
