Résumé
Society guidelines remain inconsistent on the role of endoscopic and radiographic surveillance as an alternative to surgical resection of small gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Herein, we aimed to assess survival among patients with gastric GISTs undergoing observation versus surgical resection, stratified by tumor size. The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for gastric GISTs < 2 cm diagnosed from 2010-2017. Patients were stratified by management strategy-observation vs surgical resection. The primary outcome, overall survival (OS), was examined with Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazard methods. Subgroup analyses were conducted on tumors < 1 cm and 1-2 cm in size. Altogether, 1208 patients were identified: 439 (36.3%) undergoing observation and 769 (63.7%) receiving surgical resection. In the overall cohort, patients undergoing surgical resection demonstrated improved survival (93.6 vs. 88.8% 5-year OS, p=0.02). In multivariable analysis, upfront surgical resection was not associated with a reduction in mortality; however, there was a significant interaction with tumor size. For patients with tumors < 1 cm, there was no difference in survival based on management strategy. However, resection of tumors 1-2 cm was associated with improved survival relative to surveillance. While surgical resection and surveillance were associated with similar survival for patients with gastric GISTs < 1 cm, this NCDB analysis suggests that patients with tumor size ≥ 1 cm may benefit from upfront surgical resection. Prospective studies comparing these two approaches and their impact on recurrence-free and disease-specific survival are needed to better align consensus guidelines and recommendations.

BACKGROUND
Society guidelines remain inconsistent on the role of endoscopic and radiographic surveillance as an alternative to surgical resection of small gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Herein, we aimed to assess survival among patients with gastric GISTs undergoing observation versus surgical resection, stratified by tumor size.
METHODS
The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for gastric GISTs < 2 cm diagnosed from 2010-2017. Patients were stratified by management strategy-observation vs surgical resection. The primary outcome, overall survival (OS), was examined with Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazard methods. Subgroup analyses were conducted on tumors < 1 cm and 1-2 cm in size.
RESULTS
Altogether, 1208 patients were identified: 439 (36.3%) undergoing observation and 769 (63.7%) receiving surgical resection. In the overall cohort, patients undergoing surgical resection demonstrated improved survival (93.6 vs. 88.8% 5-year OS, p=0.02). In multivariable analysis, upfront surgical resection was not associated with a reduction in mortality; however, there was a significant interaction with tumor size. For patients with tumors < 1 cm, there was no difference in survival based on management strategy. However, resection of tumors 1-2 cm was associated with improved survival relative to surveillance.
CONCLUSIONS
While surgical resection and surveillance were associated with similar survival for patients with gastric GISTs < 1 cm, this NCDB analysis suggests that patients with tumor size ≥ 1 cm may benefit from upfront surgical resection. Prospective studies comparing these two approaches and their impact on recurrence-free and disease-specific survival are needed to better align consensus guidelines and recommendations.
