摘要
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract and are highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The purpose of this manuscript is to present a comprehensive review about the treatment of this relatively new disease. A profound analysis is done concerning the effect of Imatinim mesilat (Glivec) as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of advanced GIST. The predictive role of the mutations in c-kit gene on the outcome of the GIST treatment with Glivec is recognized. In conclusion Glivec® is a highly specific target therapy, which completely has changed the paradigm for understanding cancer. This drug revolutionized the treatment of GIST, achieving three times longer survival comparing with the historical controls. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
