Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Treatment — Treatment Overview

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are usually treated with surgical resection, performed laparoscopically or through open surgery depending on tumour size and location within the digestive tract. Larger or higher-risk tumours may also need targeted drug therapy after surgery, guided by mutation testing of the removed tissue.
