Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) and Extragastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (E-GISTs) - A Review
View through CrossRef
GISTs (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors) are the most frequently encountered mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors have been recognized as a biologically distinctive tumor type, different from smooth muscle and neural tumors of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). GISTs present 0.1%-3.0% of gastrointestinal malignant tumors. The goals in treating patients with GIST are to maximize the chance of cure, minimize recurrence. A multidisciplinary approach to patients with GISTs is necessary to optimize the timing of medical and surgical therapy as they have unpredictable behavior. Also long term follow up is essential for all patients, independent of their benign or malignant characteristics. This review highlight on clinical, diagnostic imaging, histopatholpgical, immunohistochemical ,new markers and management modalities for Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) and Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (E-GISTs).
