Abstract:
With the progress of gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST), to prevent GIST's recurrence and metastasis is still a hot topic. The pre-operative pathological diagnosis of GIST is difficult to be made, and the biopsy has the chance to cause metastasis. Standard operative procedure is the key point to prevent GIST's recurrence and metastasis, which includes en-bloc resection, enough margin and so on. For the recurrence/metastasis GIST, the reoperation can be performed, but the effective therapy is to use the molecular targeted drug:imatinib.
