Mucosal incision‐assisted biopsy versus endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration with a rapid on‐site evaluation for gastric subepithelial lesions: A randomized cross‐over study
Abstract
This study aimed to compare the diagnostic yield of mucosal incision‐assisted biopsy (MIAB) and endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) with a rapid on‐site evaluation (ROSE) for gastric subepithelial lesions (SEL) suspected of being gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) with an intraluminal growth pattern.
