Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) typically express high levels of the Kit-receptor. The majority of GISTs carry mutations in the c-kit protooncogene clustering in exon 11. The significance of c-kit mutations for the biological behavior of GISTs is still under discussion. We evaluated 55 spora
