Brief Summary: RATIONALE Placing a stent in the esophagus may lessen swallowing difficulties and improve quality of life in patients with malignant dysphagia caused by esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer

PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial is studying self-expanding plastic stents to see how well they work compared with self-expanding metal stents in treating patients with malignant dysphagia caused by esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Assess differences from baseline in health-related quality of life of patients with malignant dysphagia due to cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction palliated with self-expanding plastic stents SEPS compared to those who receive self-expanding metal stents SEMS

Secondary

Perform a cost-effective analysis of each type of stent by independent evaluation of the rates of SEPS-related and SEMS-related morbidity that necessitates repeat endoscopic interventions andor additional healthcare costs in these patients
Analyze effective palliation degree and duration of improvement of dysphagia in these patients
Determine the individual rates of complication associated with each type of esophageal stent in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized controlled study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients undergo placement of a self-expanding metal stent on day 1
Arm II Patients undergo placement of a self-expanding plastic stent on day 1 Health-related quality of life is assessed at baseline 30 days and 3 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 90 patients will be accrued for this study
