- In patients with inoperable oesophageal tumours, maintaining oral food intake becomes a challenge due to blockage.
- This study explores a treatment method using special probes to "cold-coagulate" the malignant cells, which are more sensitive to cold than normal cells.
- Preliminary results from a trial involving 28 patients indicate potential effectiveness of this approach.
