GIST Tumor
posted by ahiekta06 10 days ago under gist tumor
Gist tumor was previously thought to arise from smooth muscle cells of the GI tract. The discovery that Gist tumor express the KIT protein helped establish that GISTs do not originate from smooth muscle. With the development of new effective therapies for GIST, it is vitally important that patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the GI tract have their tumor slides tested for KIT (CD117) by a pathologist experienced with GIST and KIT. The hospitals with top sarcoma treatment centers are likely to have more experience with GIST. » GIST Tumor
