Correlation of endoscopic ultrasonography features with mitotic index in 2 –5 cm gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors

Conclusion: Conventional EUS features are not reliable for predicting the mitotic index of 2–5 cm gastric GISTs. Further modalities for predicting the mitotic index are needed to prevent unnecessary surgical resections in patients with a low risk of malignanc y.
