Can Gastrointestinal Stents be Used in All Cancer Patients?
While gastrointestinal stents are a valuable tool in cancer care, they are not suitable for all patients. The decision to use a stent depends on several factors, including the location and size of the tumor, the patient's overall health, and the stage of the cancer. A thorough evaluation by a multidisciplinary team is essential to determine the appropriateness of stent placement for each individual patient.
