Endosonographic characteristics of submucosal tumors (SMT). Approach and algorithm.
نویسنده
چکیده
Submucosal lesions (SMLs) of the upper gastrointestinal tract (1-4) represent a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to both endoscopists and gastroenterologists. Such lesions may be assessed by using multifrequency transendoscopic miniprobes, or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), either radial or linear. Fine-needle puncture-aspiration (FNA) of SMTs should be guided by only linear EUS.

Endosonographic surveillance of small gastrointestinal tumors originating from muscularis propria.
INTRODUCTION Submucosal tumors (SMT) are not uncommonly found during upper endoscopy. Management for small SMT originating from muscularis propria (MP) is controversial. Data regarding regular endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) surveillance is scarce. We report our experience in using EUS to monitor these tumors. METHODS Patients with SMT originated from MP as confirmed by EUS were recruited. The ma...
متن کاملA prospective study on endoscopic ultrasonography criteria to guide management in upper GI submucosal tumors.
UNLABELLED Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can differentiate between impression and submucosal tumor (SMT) but it is not known whether EUS criteria can reliably guide management. The aim of this prospective study was to assess an approach to recommend removal versus follow-up investigation based on clinical and EUS criteria, with respect to the predictive values to recognize malignancy versus ...
متن کاملA Hybrid Machine Translation System Based on a Monotone Decoder
In this paper, a hybrid Machine Translation (MT) system is proposed by combining the result of a rule-based machine translation (RBMT) system with a statistical approach. The RBMT uses a set of linguistic rules for translation, which leads to better translation results in terms of word ordering and syntactic structure. On the other hand, SMT works better in lexical choice. Therefore, in our sys...
متن کاملIs endoscopic submucosal dissection really contraindicated for a large submucosal lipoma of the colon?
has recently been developed for endo− scopic treatment of gastrointestinal tu− mors, enabling en bloc resection of even large tumors [1,2]. Although many en− doscopists now perform ESD for early− stage gastric cancer, ESD has yet to be es− tablished as a safe therapy for colonic dis− eases, even in Japan. It is still unclear whether ESD is indicated for submucosal tumors (SMTs), and ESD for col...
متن کاملEvaluation of gastric submucosal tumors using endoscopically visualized features with submucosal endoscopy
Although the macroscopic characteristics of submucosal tumors (SMTs), such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), have been characterized, the assessment of SMTs by their endoscopically visualized features (EVF; which are observed by endoscopic imaging under direct view) remains unevaluated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of endoscopic diagnostics for SMTs us...
