Multiple gastrointestinal stromal tumors: analysis of clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of 20 patients.

Purpose: Multiple gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of multiple GISTs.

Patients And Methods: Between May 2003 and June 2018, patients who underwent surgery for multiple GISTs were retrospectively analyzed.

Relationship of prognostic nutritional index with prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a useful parameter that indicates the immunonutritional status of patients with malignant tumors. In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the value of PNI to predict the outcome of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). : This study enrolled 431 GIST patients who underwent curative resection from January 2000 to December 2012.

Long-term adjuvant imatinib treatment for a patient who underwent complete resection of a localized recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumor after preoperative imatinib treatment: A case report.
