Popis:	Over a 10 year period, 149 non-surgical patients were treated for palliation of an oesophageal cancer. One hundred and twenty-nine patients had an advanced cancer; 20 had a small cancer. The initial success rate was 81% and the complications rate was 3.1% for advanced cancers. Average duration of improvement after initial improvement was 138 days. Location was the only factor affecting the initial results in advanced cancers. Improvement duration was affected by the reason for treatment and an association of treatments during follow up. A complete local destruction of the small cancers was obtained in 18 patients. Three patients had a local recurrence during follow up.
