ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common sarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract. They affect all segments of the digestive tract. They develop from the interstitial cells of Cajal. Mutations in the Kit gene is present in 86% of cases and in PDGFR gene in 15% of cases. The marker CD 117 is present in 95% of cases. Surgery is the standard treatment in localized forms. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib is standard in first-line metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors, as well as adjuvant treatment after surgery. Sunitinib is the standard in second line.
