Most GISTs harbor tyrosine kinase activating mutations in either the KIT or PDGFRA proto-oncogene.

In cases of progressive disease after successive treatment with imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib, a fourth-line therapy with ripretinib was recently approved.

Health and quality of life are increasingly affected in many ways due to the climate crisis.

Furthermore, climatic conditions are also becoming increasingly suitable for the transmission of infectious diseases and their spread into new regions. Socio-economically disadvantaged regions with weak health infrastructure (e.g. Global South) will be hardly able to cope without specific support. The overriding imperative is to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from transport, energy and food production at global, national and regional levels to mitigate negative health impacts. The 2015 Paris Agreement must also be seen as crucial health agreement.
