Abstract

As a predictor of malignant potential of Gastointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST), the risk classification using index to measure cellular proliferative potential in combination with assessing the size of the lesion has been advocated, and an immunohistochemical diagnosis is essential when making a definite diagnose of gastric submucosal tumor and deciding on courses of treatment. Therefore, Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (EUS-FNAB) procedures have been increasingly performed in recent years. However, these procedures are difficult to apply to some locations,including the gastric upper body, and it is often difficult to obtain a sufficient sample. This time, we investigated the usefulness of novel Endoscopic Submucosal Incision associated Direct Division Biopsy (ESI-ADDB) for gastricl submucosal tumor.
