Endoscopic Resection Shows Promising Results in Treating Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

Endoscopic resection (ER) has shown to be an effective and safe method for treating gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), as suggested by a retrospective study in a large tertiary hospital in China. With a sample size of over 300 patients and a follow-up period longer than 45 months, the study found an en bloc resection rate of 88.85% and a complication rate of 0.93%. Notably, there were no instances of recurrence, even in cases where GISTs were removed piecemeal.
