Abstract

GISTs are driven by genetic aberrations, mostly observed within KIT and PDGFRA genes. Standard first-line therapy for inoperable/metastatic GIST includes imatinib. The presence of specific genetic alterations may impact imatinib efficacy and patients' survival. We aimed to analyze the impact of KIT and PDGFR mutation in patients with GIST treated in the first line with imatinib in two cohorts according to anatomical location.
