Pharmacological therapies (opioids, antiemetics, antisecretory agents) are frequently used for symptom control, but evidence of their efficacy in malignant gastric-outlet-obstruction is limited. Duodenal stenting remains first-line for endoscopic palliation, while endoscopic gastroenterostomy has emerging evidence supporting its effectiveness and should be considered. Nasogastric or venting gastrostomy decompression is advised for acute obstruction when endoscopy is not feasible, but prolonged NG tube use should be avoided. Early nutritional assessment is recommended, although the optimal modality and duration of nutritional supplementation have yet to be determined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patient-centred, multidisciplinary care is essential for malignant gastric-outlet-obstruction palliation. Further research is needed to establish optimal drug combinations. Duodenal stenting remains first-line, but guidelines should incorporate newer minimally-invasive interventions such as endoscopic gastroenterostomy.
