“…Gastric surgery has been proposed for multiple or large lesions, or for patients with recurrence after endoscopic resection, in order to definitively stop hypergastrinemia by antrectomy, or radically remove TIGC by total gastrectomy [9,20,21,22]. Somatostatin analogs (SAs) have also been proposed as they decrease tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo [9,23,24,25,26,27]. A further alternative evaluated is the conservative management by serial endoscopic controls and lesion removal; however, among the few studies evaluating this option, most of them are based on small sample sizes, include patients managed by different strategies and in addition to this, recurrence data are scanty [9,11,12,13,17,22,28,29].…”
