Automatically optimized radiomics modeling system for small gastric submucosal tumor (<2 cm) discrimination based on EUS images
Post written by Mingyan Cai, MD, PhD, FASGE, from the Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. In this study, we developed and validated an automatically optimized radiomics modeling system (AORMS) based on EUS images to diagnose small GI stromal tumors (GISTs) (<2 cm) from non-GISTs and predict those with high …
Submucosal tunneling endoscopic full-thickness resection for management of a rare case of esophageal GI stromal tumor
Post written by Chukwunonso Benedict Ezeani, MD, from Baton Rouge General Medical Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. This is a case of a patient with compensated alcohol-related cirrhosis (MELD-Na 7 points, Child Turcotte Pugh class A) who underwent an upper EGD for variceal screening. She was incidentally found to have a 1-cm well-circumscribed upper esophageal …
Endoscopic adventitial dissection of a rectal GI stromal cell tumor
Post written by Hao Dang, BSc, and Jurjen J. Boonstra, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands. Endoscopic submucosal dissection has allowed the endoscopist to perform en bloc resection of various types of GI neoplasms, including subepithelial tumors (SETs). However, submucosal dissection is not feasible for SETs …

Endoscopic full-thickness resection for GI stromal tumors
Stavros N. Stavropoulos, MD and colleagues present this video case titled "Endoscopic full-thickness resection for GI stromal tumors" from the VideoGIE section. Our video demonstrates endoscopic en bloc complete resection of a 4 cm gastric GI stromal tumor (GIST) with a substrantial 2 cm extraluminal component extending into the peritoneal cavity. In this elderly patient …
