Endoscopic Resection for Intermediate- or High-Risk Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

Endoscopic resection is a safe and effective method for treating intermediate- or high-risk gastric small gastrointestinal stromal tumors, with a 5-year overall survival rate of 97.4%. Close follow-up is necessary for these patients, but there were no recurrences or metastases observed, even among those with R1 resections. This approach allows for a wait-and-see strategy before considering adjuvant therapy or surgery.
