Abstract:

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors originating in the gastrointestinal tract. The understanding of GIST's pathogenesis improves the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease. And the diagnosis and treatment of GIST becomes the model of tumor multidisciplinary treatment. This article summarizes the progress of diagnosis and treatment of GIST, including the pathology, surgery and drug therapy. We hope this overview can help clinical doctors to treat GIST patients better.
