Abstract:
As tumors originated from mesenchymal tissue, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) has its own typical history. For the idea of treatment for GIST at different historical periods, the role and value of surgery for the treatment of GIST keep changing. Laparoscopy and endoscopy will have the role they deserved. With the understanding of pathogenesis of GIST, targeted chemotherapy will be more and more accurate and individualized. How to improve the overall therapeutic effect of GIST, especially for the patients with the high risk and drug-resistance, is the dilemma and challenges for the surgeons.
