Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: To investigate the impact of KIT and PDGFRA gene mutations on the prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Tumor tissue from 184 patients with primary GIST was submitted to mutational analysis of exons 9, 11, 13, and 17 of the KIT gene and exons 12 and 18 of the PDGFRA gene. Clinical and pathological parameters were analyzed and correlated to the risk of recurrence...
