hospital because of hematemesis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed more than 10 gastric polypoid lesions (●" Fig. 1 a). The smaller lesions were sessile, clearly demarcated, and had whitish erosions on the surface (●" Fig. 1b). The larger lesions were sub-pedunculated, and indigo carmine staining revealed a constricted base and elongated gastric pits on the surface (●" Fig. 1c). These endoscopi...
متن کاملPotential biomarkers in metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Norden-Zfoni and colleagues in the May issue of Clinical Cancer Research. In this article, the investigators aimed to identify potential biomarkers in the blood of patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated with sunitinib malate (Sutent, Pfizer, Inc.; ref. 1). One of these biomarkers was the number of circulating en...
متن کاملPediatric gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) rarely occur in pediatric patients, but increased recognition of adult GIST has led to better awareness of the existence of this entity in the pediatric population. GIST occurring in pediatric patients has a unique biology and clinical behavior and warrants discussion as an independent entity. The generally accepted definition of pediatric GIST is a tumor...
متن کاملImaging gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
BACKGROUND Because of the recent reclassification of mesenchymal tumors, which was based on a better understanding of the genetics and immunophenotype of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), only a limited number of studies have described the radiologic appearance of GISTs. METHODS This study reviews the imaging characteristics of GISTs, with an emphasis on differentiating benign and mali...
متن کاملHistological and Immunological Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) constitute the majority of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. They usually express a proto-oncogen protein called CD117 detected by immunohistochemistry. This study investigated the differentiation of GISTs as well as the risk of aggressive behaviors in GISTs from surgically-treated patients in university affiliated hospitals. Methods: The c...
