| More Details: | Recently, results from clinical studies of endoscopic resection of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in the stomach are being reported. This procedure has several advantages, such as the provision of a definite diagnosis and therapeutic plan, avoidance of frequent follow-up examination, and reduction of patients’ anxiety. However, several concerns also exist such as a limited number of studies, low R0 resection rate, and relatively shorter follow-up period compared with surgical resection. Nevertheless, it is encouraging that most of the post-procedural complications have been treated with conservative management and that some of the patients did not show recurrence of the tumor during long-term follow-up. The selection of suitable cases and the experience of the endoscopists are the most important factors for successful endoscopic resection of gastric GIST. Development of novel procedures as well as collaboration with laparoscopic surgeons are currently in progress. |
