†, 25 of the 31 GISTs were located in the stomach; ‡, 43 of the 60 GISTs were located in the stomach; §, n/m, these 3 studies are about STER for gastric submucosal tumors, n of the m submucosal tumors are gastric GISTs. GISTs, gastrointestinal stromal tumors; EBL, endoscopic band ligation; ESD, endoscopic submucosal dissection; ESE, endoscopic submucosal excavation; EFTR, endoscopic full-thickness resection; STER, submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection; LECS, laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery.
