Core Tip
Core Tip: Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) developed in up to 20% of patients with advanced hepatopancreatobiliary disease both in benign and malignant form. For this reason, the issue is very current. In this article I present various endoscopic techniques in treatment of patients with GOO. Technical aspects of the endoscopic procedures (surgeon’s view) often differ from the patient’s view (regarding such factors as cancer-related survival, overall survival, body mass composition, nutritional biomarkers, chemotherapy tolerance and patient-reported quality of life). The mentioned factors should be taken into account when interpreting the effectiveness of treatment modalities for malignant GOO, which should be also considered in the future studies in this subject.
