Neither clinical nor financial comparisons yet exist between self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) and laser therapy, concentrating on the treatment of obstructive adenocarcinomas of the oesophagogastric junction. The aim of our study was to compare the relative lifetime costs and clinical results of the Nd:YAG laser to those of SEMS as alternative forms of primary palliation of dysphagia for adenocarcinoma near the oesophagogastric junction.
