Su1034 OUTCOMES OF PALLIATIVE TREATMENT FOR MALIGNANT GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION WITH PERITONEAL CARCINOMATOSIS: STENT PLACEMENT VERSUS PALLIATIVE SURGERY AND PREDICTORS OF STENT FAILURE

We aimed to comparethe clinical outcomes and adverse events between endoscopic and surgical palliation and identify predictors of stent success in patients with MGIO with PC.
