Abstract excerpt

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the human digestive tract. Up to 85% of these tumors show somatic gain-of-function mutation of the receptor tyrosine kinase c-KIT gene. A recent study has shown a high frequency (22.5%) of minute gastrointestinal stromal tumors in stomachs examined during routine autopsies. The aims of our study were to confirm the previously reported...
