Abstract. The resolution of dysphagia in esophageal cancer remains an urgent task of modern medicine. To achieve this goal, today there are many options for providing palliative care, and each of which has its own disadvantages and advantages. Among them, stenting is an effective minimally invasive method that allows you to quickly restore the patency of the esophagus and improve the quality of life of patients. However, this technology does not exempt from complications, some of which can nullify the primary task of stenting, while others can lead to death. The article describes the current literature on the relevance of stenting, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method.

Key words: esophageal cancer, esophageal stenting, adenocarcinoma, gastrostomy.
