Abstract:
Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs).Methods Clinical and pathological data of the 32 GISTs cases treated over the recent 5 years in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively.Results Stomach was the most frequent site for GISTs.Abdominal pain was the most common symptom.Before operation,81.3%(26/32) of the cases were misdiagnosed.All of the cases underwent surgical resection.10 recurrent GIST patients received a second resection,and 8 patients(underwant) three or more resections.Follow-up was made from six months to 5 years,and 8 patients died.Conclusions The diagnosis of GISTs is difficult and mainly depends on histopathology and(immunohistochemistry).Surgical resection is the principal treatment of GISTs.Reoperation is effective for the treatment of recurrent cases.
