CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMORS.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, are immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally different from other mesenchymal tumors. They can occur anywhere in the GI tract, commonest site being stomach. GIST occurrence is not restricted to bowel but can involve unusual sites also. The diagnosis and treatment of GIST has been revolutionized over the past decade. The mainstay of treatment remains surgical resection with adequate margin. Though, these tumors are refractory to conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy but show a good response to molecularly targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitor. So, in cases where tumor has malignant potential, adjuvant treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitor may prevent or delay relapse. This review summarises the current clinical and immunohistochemical knowledge of GIST and its treatment.
