[Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)<5 cm in size: review of the literature and expert propositions for clinical management].
Clinical recommendations for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of GIST have been established. However, management of tumors limited in size, more often diagnosed by gastroenterologists, remains controversial. The aim of this work was in a first part to analyze the literature on GIST less than 5cm in size and in a second part to elaborate propositions for the clinical management based on an expert panel opinion.
