ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to treat gastric GIST, which are tumors found in the stomach. The researchers want to see if a procedure called endoscopic full thickness resection is effective and safe for removing these tumors. This method involves using an endoscope, a thin tube with a camera, to safely remove the tumor from the stomach lining.

To participate in the trial, you must be between 18 and 80 years old and have a specific type of stomach tumor that is between 10mm and 30mm in size. Unfortunately, if you are pregnant, have certain health issues that make anesthesia risky, or have tumors in other stomach locations, you may not be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to undergo this minimally invasive procedure, and the team will carefully monitor your recovery and health outcomes to gather valuable information about this treatment option.
