Approaches of surgical and complex treatment of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumours

Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of gastrointestinal tract. There are two main options for GIST's treatment: surgical treatment and targeted therapy. Surgical treatment remains the cornerstone of treatment for patients with localized disease. Combination of surgical treatment and targeted therapy allows to improve long-term results of treatment for locally advanced and metastatic tumors.
