Clinicopathologic Features of Self-expandable-metallic Stent for Left-sided Obstructive Colorectal Cancer

Key Points

• This research clarifies the distinctions in clinical and histological features between self-expandable metallic stents and trans-anal decompression tubes for obstructive colorectal cancer.
• Compared two decompression techniques: SEMS and TADT.
• Analyzed clinical and histological differences in patients with obstructive colorectal cancer.
• Identified significant differences in histological characteristics between SEMS and TADT.
• Demonstrated improved outcomes using SEMS compared to TADT in specific clinical features.
