The self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) or transanal drainage tube (TDT) methods can be used as a palliative treatment before tumor resection surgery. Studies systematically comparing the efficacy and characteristics between SEMS with TDT are limited, especially in a large-scale Chinese population. This retrospective study aimed to compare the outcomes of these treatment approaches.
