In patients with advanced esophageal or gastric cancer, it is highly likely that palliation of symptoms will become a focus of treatment. Dysphagia and obstruction are the most common complaints, and many of these patients can be treated with endoscopic interventions to alleviate symptoms. Bleeding, perforation, and nutritional issues are common problems. Attempts at palliation should be guided by thoughtful discussions regarding patients' goals of care. Owing to the high morbidity and mortality in patients with limited life expectancy, a strategy of working from the least invasive to the most invasive interventions should be guided by the patient's goals.
