The standard treatment for gastric GIST is surgical resection, but the type of surgery performed depends on the location of the tumor. Wedge resection is a good option for tumors located in the anterior wall or greater curve. Wedge resection for tumors at antrum or gastroesophageal junction can produce a stenosis, so formal gastric resections are favored. Wider margins have not shown any oncologic advantage, and lymph node dissection is not indicated.
2 These features make GIST tumors good lesions for resection using minimally invasive techniques. …
