Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare neoplasm that recently has become an intense focus of scientific investigation, as it serves as a model for the molecular therapy for cancer. Although surgery remains the principle treatment of primary localized GIST, imatinib mesylate, a selective inhibitor of KIT protein, achieves dramatic responses in metastatic GIST. Multimodality therapy integrating surgery and molecular therapy has shown promise. This article summarizes the epidemiology, clinicopathologic features, natural history, and clinical management of GIST.
胃肠道间质瘤(GIST)是一种罕见的肿瘤,近来已成为科学研究的热点,因为它可作为癌症分子治疗的一个模型。虽然手术仍然是原发性局限性GIST的主要治疗方法,但甲磺酸伊马替尼,一种KIT蛋白的选择性抑制剂,在转移性GIST中能产生显著疗效。整合手术和分子治疗的多模式治疗已显示出前景。本文总结了GIST的流行病学、临床病理特征、自然病史及临床管理。
