Aims As prevalence of subepithelial tumor (SET) has steadily increased and new minimally-invasive resection techniques have emerged, the choice of surveillance versus removal poses dilemma for both patients and gastroenterologists. Full-Thickness Resection Device (FTRD) is a novel method that allows safe and effective removal of small SET in upper gastrointestinal tract. As international guidelines remain ambiguous on the management of small gastric SET, this study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of FTRD for managing small gastric SET≤2 cm compared with the standard endoscopic surveillance.
