Abstract excerpt
In subsets of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), mutations of the KIT and PDGFRA receptor tyrosine kinases correlate with tumor prognosis and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Determining genotypes in TKI-resistant GISTs is challenging due to the potential risks and limitations of repeated biopsies during the course of treatment. We prospectively collected plasma samples from three GIST...
