Abstract
Carcinoma of the oesophagus presents a multitude of challenges of patient care in Africa. The majority of patients present with very advanced manifestations of the disease. The treatment options are usually few and limited to palliation. Placement of an endoprosthetic tube is one method which is commonly undertaken and very often provides satisfactory palliation, with restoration of swallowing.
