## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are noncomplex sarcomas that often are due to __c‐kit__‐activating and platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α gene (__PDGFRα__)‐activating mutations and perturbations of their related signaling pathways. Molecular and cytogenetic
## Abstract The purpose of this review was to determine whether imatinib mesylate (STI571, Gleevec) has a role in the treatment of osteosarcoma. The expression of platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor and its ligand was examined in a panel of surgical specimens obtained from 54 osteosarcom
