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.
