Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS With the continuous development of endoscopic technology, endoscopic resection (ER) has gradually become an optional method for the treatment of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). However, studies with a large sample or a long follow-up are lacking. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ER for gastric GISTs in the real-world setting with more than 300 enrolled patients and a follow-up period longer than 45 months. METHODS From January 2013 to February 2023, 409 patients with a pathological diagnosis of GISTs after ER were retrospectively enrolled in this study. After excluding 86 patients with non-gastric GISTs, we assessed 323 patients with gastric GISTs. The main outcome measures were en bloc resection, complete resection, residual disease, recurrence, and complications. RESULTS There were 194 (60.06%) females and 129 (39.94%) males, and the median age of the included patients was 58 years (51, 63). The median tumor size was 15.0 (10.0, 20.0) mm. According to the modified NIH criteria, 246 (75.85%) patients were classified as very low risk, 62 (19.20%) were classified as low risk, 12 (3.72%) were classified as moderate risk, and 3 (0.93%) were classified as high risk. A total of 287 (88.85%) patients achieved en bloc resection, and 287 (88.85%) also achieved complete resection. Only one patient showed residual and no recurrent lesions were noted during the follow-up. Regarding complications, three patients had complications, with a complication rate of 0.93%, and no severe complications requiring surgical intervention occurred. CONCLUSION ER is an appropriate alternative method for the treatment of gastric GISTs, with an en bloc resection rate of 88.85% and a complication rate of 0.93%. No recurrence was noted during follow-up, even for GISTs with piecemeal resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Subepithelial lesions (SELs) are associated with various endoscopic resection (ER) outcomes and diagnostic challenges. We aimed to establish a tool for predicting ER-related outcomes and diagnosing SELs and to investigate the predictive value of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). METHODS Phase 1 (system development) was performed in a retrospective cohort (n = 837) who underwent EUS before ER for SELs at eight hospitals. Prediction models for five key outcomes were developed using logistic regression. Models with satisfactory internal validation performance were included in a mobile application system, SEL endoscopic resection predictor (SELERP). In Phase 2, the models were externally validated in a prospective cohort of 200 patients. RESULTS An SELERP was developed using EUS characteristics, which included 10 models for five key outcomes: post-ER ulcer management, short procedure time, long hospital stay, high medication costs, and diagnosis of SELs. In Phase 1, 10 models were derived and validated (C-statistics, 0.67-0.99; calibration-in-the-large, -0.14-0.10; calibration slopes, 0.92-1.08). In Phase 2, the derived risk prediction models showed convincing discrimination (C-statistics, 0.64-0.73) and calibration (calibration-in-the-large, -0.02-0.05; calibration slopes, 1.01-1.09) in the prospective cohort. The sensitivities and specificities of the five diagnostic models were 68.3-95.7% and 64.1-83.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION We developed and prospectively validated an application system for the prediction of ER outcomes and diagnosis of SELs, which could aid clinical decision-making and facilitate patient-physician consultation. EUS features significantly contributed to the prediction. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, http://www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2000040118).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic resection (ER) is widely used in treating gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gGISTs); however, complications occur frequently after resection. We aimed to determine factors associated with postoperative complications for ER of gGISTs. METHODS This was a retrospective, multi-center, observational study. Consecutive patients who underwent ER of gGISTs at five institutes from January 2013 to December 2022 were analyzed. The risk factors for delayed bleeding and postoperative infection were assessed. RESULTS A total of 513 cases were finally analyzed. Of 513 patients, 27 (5.3%) had delayed bleeding and 69 (13.4%) had a postoperative infection. Multivariate analysis indicated that risk factors for delayed bleeding were long operative time (OR = 50.655; 95% CI, 13.777-186.252; P < 0.001) and severe intraoperative bleeding (OR = 4.731, 95% CI, 1.139-19.658; P = 0.032), and risk factors for postoperative infection were long operative time (OR = 13.749, 95% CI, 6.884-27.461; P < 0.001) and perforation (OR = 4.339, 95% CI, 2.178-8.644; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated the risk factors for postoperative complications in ER of gGISTs. Long operation time is a common risk factor for delayed bleeding and postoperative infection. Patients with these risk factors should be given careful observation postoperatively.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Gastric submucosal mass lesions are a collection of tumours that arise in the stomach and are deep to the mucosal layer. Distinct from gastric epithelial carcinomas, these tumours are generally more indolent. They are often found incidentally on upper endoscopy. Most often they present as smooth protuberant masses covered by normal intact gastric mucosa. The majority are asymptomatic. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is frequently employed to further characterize the lesions. EUS can be diagnostic of some lesions, such as lipomas, and can be used to guide fine needle aspiration to diagnose others. Adding to the traditional management approaches of observation and surgical resection, numerous new and emerging endoscopic therapies are now being used to resect these gastric tumours. RECENT FINDINGS This review focuses on evolving strategies in the diagnosis and management of submucosal mass lesions. Although surgical intervention was once the lone option for intervention, there are an increasing number of endoscopic therapies. There have also been advancements in neoadjuvant therapies and in distinguishing the malignant potential of submucosal mass lesions. SUMMARY Gastric submucosal lesions are common. EUS is frequently indicated in the evaluation and diagnosis. For tumours for which observation is not recommended, novel endoscopic therapies may offer less invasive management options.

Abstract
Purpose The studies on solitary gastric neurofibroma (GN) consist of only individual case reports, with little data and relevant information. We aimed to summarize the clinical features, endoscopic features, imaging findings, and pathological features and study the safety and efficacy of endoscopic treatment of solitary GN. Patients and Methods We retrospectively collected and analyzed clinical data of patients who underwent endoscopic treatment in Department of Gastroenterology of a well-known tertiary hospital from August 2007 to September 2019 and were accurately diagnosed as having solitary GN. Results A total of 788 patients with gastric submucosal tumors underwent endoscopic treatment, among whom 11 patients were found to have solitary GNs. The incidence of solitary GNs was 1.4%. All 11 patients were treated with endoscopy. Five patients underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) and six patients underwent endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE). The en bloc resection rate of the 11 lesions was 100.0%. The median endoscopic operation time was 80 minutes. Average length of hospital stay was 6.4 ± 1.6 days. The median follow-up time was 29 months. No recurrence, distant metastasis, or disease-related death occurred during the follow-up. Conclusion EFTR and ESE can serve as feasible, safe, and effective treatments for solitary GN.
