ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Clinical Challenges and Real-Time Decision Making in GI Endoscopy (Live and Virtual) | May 2023-Session 2 Presentation 1

Session 2 Presentation 1 - Commonly Encountered Upper GI Lesions

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses two cases related to upper gastrointestinal (GI) lesions. The first case involves a 65-year-old woman with anemia who is found to have small sessile polyps in her stomach, which are biopsied and found to be neuroendocrine tumors. The speaker explains the different types of gastric neuroendocrine tumors and their clinical features, as well as the management options for each type. The second case involves a 50-year-old man with cirrhosis who has multiple gastrohyperplastic polyps in his stomach. The speaker discusses the risk of cancer and recurrence for these polyps, and when resection may be necessary. The main take-home message is to thoroughly evaluate the entire stomach in these cases.
