A gastric submucosal tumor is a growth that forms beneath the inner lining (mucosa) of the stomach. It is found in about 1 to 2 out of every 100 people who undergo an upper endoscopy, and most are benign (not harmful to the body). However, some can become malignant, so regular follow-up is needed. If one is found during an endoscopy, please follow your doctor's guidance for management.2026-06-26

Stomach cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the stomach. A malignant tumor is an abnormal mass of cells that harms the body. It is common in Korea, with about 30,000 people diagnosed each year. In its early stages, it often causes no symptoms, which makes it hard to detect early. Regular upper endoscopy is very important for early detection. If you notice unusual symptoms or have concerns, please be sure to see a medical specialist.2026-06-26
