487 noninvasive prediction model for diagnosis of gist using contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (ceh-eus)

It is important to distinguish GIST that has a malignant potential from other subepithelial tumors (SET). However, without pathologic confirmation, accurate diagnosis of SETs that originate from proper muscle layer is difficult. Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CEH-EUS) has been used recently to preoperatively assess of SETs. The aim of this study is to confirm the usefulness and accuracy of noninvasive diagnosis of GIST using CEH-EUS.
