Efficacy and safety of imatinib mesylate in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

TL;DR: Imatinib induced a sustained objective response in more than half of patients with an advanced unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor, indicating that inhibition of the KIT signal-transduction pathway is a promising treatment for advanced gastrointestinalStromal tumors, which resist conventional chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiotoxicity associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib

TL;DR: Left ventricular dysfunction might be due, in part, to direct cardiomyocyte toxicity, exacerbated by hypertension, and patients treated with sunitinib should be closely monitored for hypertension and LVEF reduction, especially those with a history of coronary artery disease or cardiac risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

NCCN Task Force report: management of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)--update of the NCCN clinical practice guidelines.

TL;DR: The GIST Task Force met for the first time in October 2003 and again in December 2006 with the purpose of expanding on the existing NCCN guidelines for gastrointestinal sarcomas and identifying areas of future research to optimize the understanding and treatment of GIST.
