Journal ArticleDOI

Gain-of-function mutations of c-kit in human gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

TL;DR: Sequencing of c-kit complementary DNA from five GISTs revealed mutations in the region between the transmembrane and tyrosine kinase domains, suggesting that the mutations contribute to tumor development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consensus meeting for the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors Report of the GIST Consensus Conference of 20–21 March 2004, under the auspices of ESMO

TL;DR: In a substantial proportion of patients, stable disease and even increase in tumor size may be associated with pathologic response to imatinib therapy, and available survival data indicate that the survival of these patients is similar to that of patients with conventional tumor response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gain-of-function mutations of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α gene in gastrointestinal stromal tumors

TL;DR: The gain-of-function mutations of PDGFR alpha appear to play an important role in development of GISTs without KIT mutations.
