Abstract
This review discusses the current and future landscape of advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) treatment. It covers the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), specifically imatinib, and further treatment options, such as sunitinib, regorafenib, and ripretinib, as well as avapritinib for platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha D842V mutations. In addition, this review emphasizes individualized treatment strategies within multidisciplinary expert teams, including surgery and other locoregional therapies, together with the importance of mutation-guided approaches, particularly for wild-type GISTs. Finally, it explores the potential of next-generation KIT inhibitors, combination therapies, and other investigational approaches.
期刊介绍:
Hematology/Oncology Clinics updates you on the latest trends in patient management, keeps you up to date on the newest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Under the direction of an experienced guest editor, each issue focuses on a single topic in hematology and oncology, including hemostasis and thrombosis, molecular and cellular basis of hematology, coagulation disorders, and cancers—bone, gastrointestinal, head and neck, lymphomas, neuroendocrine, breast, renal cell, melanoma, and more.
