Long-term outcomes of endoscopic therapy versus surgical resection for 2–5 cm gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors: A population-based comparative study

Endoscopic therapy (ET) of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) has become a viable treatment. We intended to compare long-term outcomes of ET versus surgical resection for 2-5 cm GIST using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
