Prevalence of Sub-epithelial Lesions Among Patients Undergoing EGDs in Egypt

NCT04622098 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2000

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Subepithelial lesions (SEL) are incidentally observed in the stomach of about 0.3% of middle-aged men and women; half of these are neoplastic. The incidence of subepithelial tumors (SET) of gastrointestinal (GI) origin has risen twofold to fivefold within the past 30 years.The etiology of most SMTs cannot easily be determined by endoscopy. So, we aim to estimate the prevalence and types of sub-epithelial lesions among patients undergoing EGDs in Egypt.

Conditions

  • Esophageal Neoplasms
  • Gastric Neoplasm
  • Duodenal Neoplasms

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Endoscopic ultrasound

this is an endoscopic procedure for the assessment of the lesions, the following will be recorded: 1. the tumor location, 2. layer of origin, 3. maximal diameter, 4. regularity of extraluminal border, 5. echopattern, 6. presence of cystic spaces or echogenic foci.
