Table 7 Advantages and disadvantages of peroral endoscopic tumor resection vs surgery
| Advantages of POET | ||
| POET | Surgical myotomy | |
| Minimally invasive method | Invasive (major surgery) | |
| Hospitalization | Less hospitalization (1-5 d) | Longer hospitalization > 5 d |
| Specimen for complete histology possible | ||
| Does not preclude surgery | ||
| Elderly patients | Effective in elderly with comorbidities and contraindications (only specialized centers) | Contra indication for surgery |
| Cost | Lower hospitalization and lower cost | Higher cost in combination to surgical procedure |
| Disadvantages of POET | ||
| POET | Surgery | |
| Follow-up | Short follow-up (novel technique) | Longer follow-up |
| POEM | POET restricted to specialized centers | Common surgical or laparoscopic procedure overall available |
| Training | Difficult (only few centers worldwide) | Overall available |
| Outcome | Complete curable resection may be not possible in malignant GIST cases | Complete resection possible |
