Abstract:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract but are the most common sarcoma. This review covers aspects of the care of patients with GIST relevant to surgeons. In particular, management of sub-2 cm GISTs, the utility of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for primary GISTs, and indications for surgery in the setting of metastatic disease are discussed.
