INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Gastric Outlet Obstruction

Summary

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) occurs commonly in malignancies involving the periampullary region (cancers originating in the head of the pancreas, duodenum, bile duct, or ampulla) or the distal stomach. GOO not only causes debilitating symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, inability to tolerate oral intake, and prevents adequate nutritional intake. Therefore, providing therapy for GOO is imperative to improve the quality of life, and nutritional status of these patients, as well as allow them to continue receiving their cancer treatment
