Abstract
OBJECTIVE The risk category of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are closely related to the surgical method, the scope of resection, and the need for preoperative chemotherapy. We aimed to develop and validate convolutional neural network (CNN) models based on preoperative venous-phase CT images to predict the risk category of gastric GISTs. METHOD A total of 425 patients pathologically diagnosed with gastric GISTs at the authors' medical centers between January 2012 and July 2021 were split into a training set (154, 84, and 59 with very low/low, intermediate, and high-risk, respectively) and a validation set (67, 35, and 26, respectively). Three CNN models were constructed by obtaining the upper and lower 1, 4, and 7 layers of the maximum tumour mask slice based on venous-phase CT Images and models of CNN_layer3, CNN_layer9, and CNN_layer15 established, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) and the Obuchowski index were calculated to compare the diagnostic performance of the CNN models. RESULTS In the validation set, CNN_layer3, CNN_layer9, and CNN_layer15 had AUROCs of 0.89, 0.90, and 0.90, respectively, for low-risk gastric GISTs; 0.82, 0.83, and 0.83 for intermediate-risk gastric GISTs; and 0.86, 0.86, and 0.85 for high-risk gastric GISTs. In the validation dataset, CNN_layer3 (Obuchowski index, 0.871) provided similar performance than CNN_layer9 and CNN_layer15 (Obuchowski index, 0.875 and 0.873, respectively) in prediction of the gastric GIST risk category (All P >.05). CONCLUSIONS The CNN based on preoperative venous-phase CT images showed good performance for predicting the risk category of gastric GISTs.

Abstract
As one of the most common mesenchymal malignancies in the digestive system, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) occur throughout the alimentary tract with diversified oncological characteristics. With the advent of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor era, the treatment regimens of patients with GISTs have been revolutionized and GISTs have become the paradigm of multidisciplinary therapy. However, surgery resection remains recognized as the potentially curative management for the radical resection and provided with favorable oncological outcomes. The existing available surgery algorithms in clinical practice primarily incorporate open procedure, and endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery together with combined operation techniques. The performance of various surgery methods often refers to the consideration of risk evaluation of recurrence and metastases; the degree of disease progression; size, location, and growth pattern of tumor; general conditions of selected patients; and indications and safety profile of various techniques. In the present review, we summarize the fundamental principle of surgery of GISTs based on risk assessment as well as tumor size, location, and degree of progress with an emphasis on the indications, strengths, and limitations of current surgery techniques.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare tumors with a varying malignancy potential, most frequently located in the stomach and the small intestine. The median age at diagnosis is around 65 years. Standard treatment of localized disease is complete surgical resection. A GIST is generally resistant to conventional chemotherapy. Most GISTs harbor tyrosine kinase activating mutations in either the KIT or PDGFRA proto-oncogene. The standard treatment of locally advanced and metastatic GIST with such mutations is the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib. In cases of progressive disease after successive treatment with imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib, a fourth-line therapy with ripretinib was recently approved. Approved in 2020, avapritinib is the first effective targeted therapy for advanced stage GIST harboring an imatinib-resistant PDGFRA D842V mutation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the radiologic size of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) on computed tomography (CT) with the pathologic size in a Chinese population, and elucidate the potential significance of the CT size in the preoperative risk stratification. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study enrolled 314 patients treated by endoscopic/surgical resection of gastric lesions that proved postoperatively to be GISTs. Bland-Altman analysis and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were adopted to assess the size agreement between CT and pathology. Independent predictors of risk category underestimation and the optimal cut-off value of CT size were determined by logistic regression analysis and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS CT underestimated gastric GISTs size by 0.30 cm [95% confidence interval (CI): (-0.42, - 0.19); p < 0.001]. In the subgroup analysis, the size underestimation was 0.10 cm in GISTs ≤ 5 cm [95% CI: (-0.19, -0.01); p = 0.024]; and 0.75 cm in GISTs >5 cm [95% CI: (-1.05, 0.45), p < 0.001]. Though ICC values showed well reliability for the corresponding pathologic size, with 0.95 in all size, 0.86 in size ≤ 5 cm, and 0.92 in size >5 cm respectively. Risk underestimation by CT imaging mainly occurred in gastric GISTs with smaller size (≤5 cm; p = 0.010) and lower mitotic index (≤5 per 50 high-power fields; p = 0.011). CT size of 3.65 cm was defined as an absolute cut-off to differentiate intermediate/high-risk patients from low-risk group, with 87.5% sensitivity at a specificity of 57.8%. CONCLUSION Preoperative CT underestimated the mean size by 0.30 cm in gastric GISTs. A CT size of 3.65 cm would facilitate the selection of potential intermediate/high-risk patients, instant intervention should be encouraged in the absence of contraindications.

Abstract
This is the fifth in a series of papers entitled "Controversies in EUS." In the current paper, we deal with high-resolution catheter probes, otherwise known as EUS miniprobes (EUS-MPs). The application of miniprobes for early carcinomas in the entire intestinal tract, for subepithelial lesions, and for findings in the bile duct and pancreatic duct as well as endobronchial use is critically discussed. Submucous lesions, especially in the colon, but also early carcinomas in special cases are considered the most important indications. The argument is illustrated by numerous examples.

J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2020; 35:1858-1868. [PMID: 32428968 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM For localized disease, complete surgical resection is regarded as the "gold standard" therapeutic modality. With the rapid development of endoscopic techniques, endoscopic resection (ESR) has been confirmed as an efficient and safe alternative for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in the stomach. Nevertheless, the management of gastric GISTs remains poorly defined. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the security and effectiveness of ESR with laparoscopic resection (LAR) for gastric GISTs. METHODS A literature search of online databases was conducted to identify relevant comparative studies of ESR and LAR procedures for gastric GISTs published before April 10, 2020. The cumulative data analysis was also performed utilizing the software STATA. RESULTS In total, 10 studies involving 1165 patients met the inclusion criteria for analysis (651 for ESR and 514 for LAR). From the results of meta-analysis, patients who underwent ESR experienced decreased operative time (P = 0.000), less intraoperative blood loss (P = 0.002), earlier time to diet (P = 0.000), shorter hospital stay (P = 0.000), and lower total charges (P = 0.000) compared with LAR. Moreover, there were no significant differences between these two approaches concerning tumor rupture, conversion rate to other procedure, complete resection rate, postoperative complication rate, recurrence rate, and disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic resection, as an effective alternative treatment strategy with satisfactory outcomes, is acceptable for selective patients with gastric GISTs compared with LAR. Further well-designed randomized controlled trials with large samples are warranted to corroborate our observations.
