This makes us emphasize again that, if gastric NETs are being detected on a daily basis, it is probably because of the expanding use of upper GI endoscopy. The endoscopic diagnoses in this study were performed on patients who underwent the procedure for various reasons including dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux and other disturbances including anemia and nausea. As has happened in other studies, most of the tumors discovered were asymptomatic. In fact, they are usually discovered incidentally during endoscopic evaluations 11, 12.
El diagnóstico endoscópico en el presente trabajo se hizo en pacientes a quienes se les realizó el procedimiento por diversas razones incluyendo dispepsia, síntomas de reflujo gastroesofágico y otras molestias como anemia, náuseas etc., indicando que al igual que lo que sucede en otras investigaciones, la mayoría de estos tumores son asintomáticos y generalmente se descubren de manera incidental durante la evaluación endoscópica 11, 12.
