[Gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Current data].
GIST anatomical concept, recently elucidate, they are characterized by the expression of the protooncogene C Kit The diagnosis is relatively easy but prognosis evaluation is not usually possible. The treatment is based on the surgical resection. The rewardable clinical response of tumors that express C-Kit to treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI 571 is a triumph of molecular pharmacology.
