A Novel Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Switch Promotes Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Drug Resistance
5 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
The fact that most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) acquire resistance to imatinib (IM)-based targeted therapy remains the main driving force to identify novel molecular targets that are capable to increase GISTs sensitivity to the current therapeutic regimens. Secondary resistance to IM in GISTs typically occurs due to several mechanisms that include hemi- or homo-zygous deletion of the wild-type KIT...
