ABSTRACT
The availability of imatinib followed by other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has dramatically altered the outcome of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Patients with advanced or poor risk disease can now expect survival measured in years instead of months. An experienced multi disciplinary team (MDT) will be able to personalize therapy to ensure maximum benefit. This review will provide the updated information and finer points regarding state of the art management of GIST with the use of imatinib and other TKIs.
