Gastric stromal tumors display a bewildering array of immunohistological and ultrastructural features as well as variable biological behavior. These tumors are rare as compared with ones that arise from the gastric epithelium. Moreover, they have been the subjects of controversy because of their uncertain histogenesis. We report the pathological features of gastric stromal tumors we recently encountered in three patients.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the digestive tract, often accompanied by a high risk of recurrence and drug resistance. Huaier (Trametes robiniophila Murr), a traditional Chinese medicinal fungus, has demonstrated potent anticancer properties and is widely used as an adjuvant treatment for liver, breast, gastric, colon, and non-small cell lung cancers. However, its effects and molecular mechanisms in GIST remain unclear.

Introduction: Gastric glomus tumor is a rare submucosal mesenchymal tumor with no distinct features on endoscopy. In clinical practice, it is often treated with laparoscopic partial gastrectomy. Here, we report a case of gastric glomus tumor successfully resected using a combination of gastroscopy and laparoscopy.

A total of 59 patients were prospectively enrolled, with their ctDNA detected and paired tumor tissue collected at various peri-operative time points. Patients with higher 1-month post-operative ctDNA levels demonstrated shorter overall survival status (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) was very rare in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Most GISTs were asymptomatic at early stage. Therefore, it was of great significance to explore the prognostic factors of patients with GIST.
