Appropriate endoscopic treatment selection and surveillance for superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors.

CONCLUSIONS: While tumors ≤10 mm seem to be good indications for endoscopic mucosal resection, ESD should be considered for larger tumors to better achieve complete resection. Patients with submucosal invasive carcinomas have a great risk of cancer death. Therefore, a close follow-up and an additional treatment are desirable.
