Abstract

For more than 20 years gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have been aparadigm for atargeted treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Afundamental prerequisite for aneoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment of localized GIST or an additive treatment of metastatic GIST is the molecular typing of tumors, ideally at the initial diagnosis. In addition, the possibility of ahereditary or syndromic predisposition must be considered because this results in consequences for the treatment and adifferent follow-up strategy.
