Abstract
Gastrostomy tube (G-tube) is used for primary and supplemental feeding as well as for gastric decompression in patients with inoperable bowel obstruction. G-tube placement can be achieved by Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) or Percutaneous Radiologic Gastrostomy (PRG). However, the difference in outcomes between these two methods is not clear in adult oncology patients. Therefore, we investigated the outcomes of endoscopically and fluoroscopically placed G-tubes in oncology patients treated at a national network of oncology hospitals.
