| Data are shown a mean±standard deviation. PSM – propensity score matching. Location of the neoplasms: U – upper one-third of the stomach; M – middle one-third; L – lower one-third. Circumferential position of the neoplasms: Ant – anterior wall of the stomach; Post – posterior wall; Less– lesser curvature; Gre – greater curvature. ESD – endoscopic submucosal dissection. * value | ||||
