## Abstract The high risk of recurrence in resected gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) highlights the need for effective adjuvant treatment. This review evaluates the clinical efficacy and safety of imatinib for adjuvant treatment of localized KIT (CD117)βpositive resected GIST. Relevant studies
## Abstract Although surgery remains the mainstay for the treatment of primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a significant number of patients experience disease recurrence within 5 years of surgery. The emergence of imatinib therapy for the treatment of patients with advanced GIST has off
## Abstract __BRAF__ and __NRAS__ are commonly mutated in cancer and represent the most frequent genetic events in malignant melanoma. More recently, a subset of melanomas was shown to overexpress KIT and harbor __KIT__ mutations. Although most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) exhibit activa
## Abstract Cancer testis antigens (CTAs) have been identified in various tumors as immunological tumor targets. In gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), the prediction of malignant potential remains difficult but is crucial in the era of adjuvant imatinib treatment. Here, we analyzed the impact o
