Laparoscopic resection of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is safe and effective, irrespective of tumor size

Abstract: The low morbidity rates and the long-term disease-free interval of 100% observed in our cohort indicate that laparoscopic resection is safe and effective in treating gastric GISTs, even for tumors larger than 2 cm.

“…Although current guidelines recommend laparoscopic resection of gastric GISTs < 2.0 cm in size, 3,4 recent studies have demonstrated that even relatively large gastric GISTs ≥ 2.0 cm in size can be safely resected using the laparoscopic approach, and long-term outcomes have shown that only small number of cases recurred (0%~8%) during 36 to 75 months of follow-up period. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Laparoscopic resection of gastric GISTs facilitates substantial negative margins.…”

“…2 GISTs can occur anywhere throughout the GI tract and are seen most commonly in the stomach (40–70%), followed by small intestine (20–40%), and colon and rectum (5–15%). 3 Many clinicopathological features were reported as prognostic factors for GISTs, including tumor location, 4 tumor size, mitotic index, 5 Ki-67, 6 histological types, 7 gene mutations, 8 and so on. However, only tumor size and mitotic index are the best prognostic indicators for determining the malignant potential of GISTs.…”

“…Lai et al [20] reported a 5-year survival rate of 100 % and a disease-free survival rate of 100 %. Likewise, De Vogelaere et al [8] reported a 100 % 5-year survival rate and a 100 % disease-free survival rate in laparoscopic resection regardless of tumor size. Tabrizian et al [9] reported comparable outcomes in their series with laparoscopic management of GISTs.…”

“…Laparoscopic procedures are currently favored given the excellent short-and long-term results [7][8][9][10][11]. A combined approach with endoscopy is a recent alternative in select cases.…”
