Core Tip	Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a common problem associated with advanced malignancies of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Palliative treatment of patients’ symptoms who present with GOO is an important aspect of their care. Surgical palliation of malignancy is defined as a procedure performed with the intention of relieving symptoms caused by an advanced malignancy or improving quality of life. Palliative treatment for GOO includes operative (open and laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy) and non-operative (endoscopic stenting) options. Regardless of the treatment used for relief of symptoms all physicians having end of life conversations with patients should be adequately trained in end of life care to ensure that patients are getting the optimal treatment for their particular circumstances.
