@inproceedings{Graziano2016ClinicalAM, title={Clinical and Molecular Anatomy of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST)}, author={Giorgio Graziano and Giovanni Castelli and A. Graziano}, year={2016} }
Introductionnbsp Gastrointestinal stromal tumors GISTs are rare and fall into the category of non-epithelial tumors of the gastrointestinal tract , involving the stomach at a higher percentage (70 %). The purpose of this study , through a retrospective analysis of the observed cases , is to obtain data on the incidence , survival curve identification of prognostic and predictive parameters .The goal is to collect data concerning the natural history of GIST , 65% of patients were female, 35…

GISTs usually occur in older adults and rarely in children in the second decade and are believed to originate from interstitial cells of Cajal or related stem cells; small intestinal tumors behave more aggressively than gastric tumors with similar parameters.

Key elements of the consensus are the defining role of KIT immunopositivity in diagnosis and a proposed scheme for estimating metastatic risk in these lesions, based on tumor size and mitotic count, recognizing that it is probably unwise to use the definitive term "benign" for any GIST, at least at the present time.

The Carney triad gastric stromal tumor is different clinically, pathologically, and behaviorally from sporadic gastric GISTs and showed distinctive features: female predilection, young patient age, epithelioid cell predominance, multifocality, frequent lymph node metastasis, serial tumor occurrence, and unpredictable behavior.

It is shown that gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors can be immunophenotypically divided in categories that correlate with light microscopically defined diagnostic entities, namely typical leiomyomas, schwannomas, and GIST, most cases of the latter representing tumors of primitive meschymal cells that are CD34 positive.

Choi response criteria are reproducible, more sensitive, and more precise than RECIST in assessing the response of GISTs to imatinib mesylate and should be incorporated routinely into future studies of Gist therapy.
