| Median (IQR) | 4.0 (3.0-5.0) | 55.0 (30-105) | < 0.01 |
| En bloc resection, n (%) | 9 (100) | 63 (100) | 1.0 |
| R0 resection, n (%) | 9 (100) | 62 (98.4) | 1.0 |
| Curative resection, n (%) | 9 (100) | 55 (87.3) | 0.54 |
| Perforation, n (%) | 0 (0) | 5 (8.0) | 1.0 |

P values were calculated using Fisher’s exact test for categorical data and Mann-Whitney U test for continuous data. GF-ER: Grasping forceps assisted endoscopic resection; ESD: Endoscopic submucosal dissection; IQR: Interquartile range.
