Gastrointestinal stromal tumors
2005
: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are generally found in the stomach or small intestine and less commonly in the colon or rectum. Complete surgical removal remains the best current therapy for GISTs. The treatment of advanced GIST patients is with imatinib, a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In our series, 23 patients observed between 1994 and 2004 and affected by GIST were treated with complete negative margin resections (three cases by laparoscopy).
