Our study had several limitations. First, this study had a retrospective design and was performed at a single institution. Second,
the sample size was small. Third, the indications of SEMS placement
for obstructive colon cancer were unclear. In fact, several patients in
the SEMS group had no obstructive symptoms. Moreover, the median
follow-up period was relatively short, and the observation period
