SVC and Bronchial stents

This case wasn't oesophageal cancer but the same applies with it. SVC obstruction can be treated by a stent, if appropriate, and bronchial compression can be treated by stenting, again if appropriate. Chemotherapy and or Radiotherapy is then utilised to shrink the disease.
