Core Tip

Core Tip: Endoscopic resection of duodenal submucosal tumors carries high risks of hemorrhage and perforation, highlighting the importance of effective suturing. Thus, we established a clinical score model for supporting suture decision-making of duodenal submucosal tumors. The clinical score comprised extraluminal growth (2 points) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (3 points) with good discriminatory power. The scoring system could provide endoscopists the references for supporting suture decision-making of duodenal submucosal tumors.
