Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To characterize oncogenic KIT signaling mechanisms in gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST), and to determine which signaling pathway might be of potential relevance to imatinib acquired resistance. METHODS: The mutations of KIT and PDGFRa gene were evaluated and KIT downstream signaling profiles were evaluated in 8 specimen from 5 GIST patients who were evaluated treated between 2003 and 2008 in our...
