Clinical Trial: RCT of EFTR Versus STER for GIST Treatment

U.S., Feb. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07411118) titled 'RCT of EFTR Versus STER for GIST Treatment' on Feb. 09.

Brief Summary: Endoscopic resection has been increasing utilized as the treatment for small size gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), of which the best resection method has not been identified. We aim to compare the outcomes of endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) versus submucosal tunnelling endoscopic resection (STER) for clinical small gastric GIST. We hypothesize that EFTR could achieve better complete margin negative resection than STER without increase in adverse event.
