5. Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: The use of endoscopy to place a metal stent in the large intestine is less invasive than surgery for treating cancer-related bowel obstruction and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of endoscopic placement of a metal stent in treating patients who have cancer-related bowel obstruction.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: Determine the objective response and clinical outcome in patients with colonic obstruction secondary to malignancy treated with enteral Wallstents. Evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment in these patients. Evaluate the quality of life of these patients after enteral Wallstent placement. OUTLINE: All patient undergo a colonoscopy, followed by placement of an enteral Wallstent through an endoscope under fluoroscopic guidance into the large intestine. Quality of life is assessed at 48 hours and 6 months after the procedure. Patients are followed at 48 hours, 30 days, 6 months, and then yearly thereafter until death. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study.
