摘要
Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, which are characterized in the majority of cases by activating mutations in KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA). The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has revolutionized the management of patients with metastatic GIST. However, complete surgical resection remains the mainstay of management for those with localized disease. Recently, three large trials have confirmed the benefit of adjuvant imatinib therapy in patients who were at high risk of recurrence following complete resection. In this setting, it is critical that oncologists understand the various GIST risk assessment criteria and be able to apply these methods to accurately assess the risk of recurrence and the need for adjuvant imatinib therapy. Purpose: The aim of this review is to outline the risk stratification systems currently available to oncologists who are treating patients with GIST, so they can be optimally applied for clinical decision-making. © The Author(s) 2014.
