Core Tip	Gastrointestinal stomal tumours (GISTs) are safely and effectively treated by the endoscopic resection (ER) in the esophagus. It has a small camera to remove the tumour through small cuts. This makes the recovery process relatively easy for the patients. In fact, the best results were seen in smaller and low-risk tumours, with most showing good results. Nevertheless, there might be some complications: (1) The collection of fluid or some minor pain after the treatment; and (2) These usually get treated without the need for further surgery. ER is thus recommended for the management of low-risk esophageal GIST since there are fewer problems and better recovery thereafter.
