Jan 16th, 2021 - Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) driven by KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) mutations develop resistance to available tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatments. NAVIGATOR is a two-part, single arm, dose escalat...

Jan 11th, 2021 - BACKGROUND Type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) is known to be associated with not only neurogenic tumors but also gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasms. However, there are few reports on vascular lesions and the incidence is unknown. CASE REPORT We report he...

Jan 7th, 2021 - Progranulin (PGRN) is known to promote tumorigenesis and proliferation of several types of cancer cells. However, little is known about the clinicopathological features of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) with regard to PGRN e...

Jan 5th, 2021 - The role of targeted therapy is firmly established for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs); other modalities for targeting this disease are necessary for recurrent and refractory disease. There are several lines of evidence pointing to an acti...

Jan 4th, 2021 - Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the human gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on intra- and peri-tumor tissues from GIST patients with the aim of di...

May 30th, 2020 - An extended course of imatinib increased OS among patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, or GIST, according to long-term study results presented during the ASCO20 Virtual Scientific Program.

May 28th, 2020 - Approximately half of deaths can be avoided with the use of 3 years of adjuvant imatinib in the first decade after surgery for high-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), according to long-term data from the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group XVIII/...

Dec 25th, 2018 - Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have improved the overall survival of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), but their side effects can impact dose intensity and, consequently, the clinical benefit. To date, no guideline or conse...

May 27th, 2018 - Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare tumours, with an estimated unadjusted incidence of around 1/100 000/year. This only covers clinically relevant GISTs, since, if investigated, a much higher number of lesions ≤ 1 cm in diameter (mic.

Jul 29th, 2014 - The use of potential surrogate end points for overall survival, such as disease-free survival (DFS) or time-to-treatment failure (TTF) is increasingly common in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in cancer. However, the definition of time-to-even...
