Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms usually caused by somatic mutations in the genes KIT (c-kit) or PDGFRA. Mutation characterization has become an important exam for GIST patients because it is useful in predicting the response to the inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of KIT and PDGFRA...
