Synchronous occurrence of epithelial and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in the stomach is uncommon. This association has often been detected incidentally on gastric mucosa or serosa, or occasionally intramurally, at surgery or gastroscopy for other reasons. Various hypotheses have been proposed regarding this simultaneous development, and it is not known whether or not such an association is a simple incidental coexistence or whether the two lesions are connected by a causal relationship. In this article, we report two cases of synchronous development of stromal tumor and adenocarcinoma incidentally detected in the stomach in two elderly patients.

Defining Textbook Outcomes for Minimally Invasive Surgical Resection of Small Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) of the Stomach.
Ann Surg Oncol
January 2025
Department of Surgery, University of California San Diego School of Medicine, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Textbook outcome (TO) has been utilized to assess the quality of surgical care. This study aimed to define TO rates for minimally invasive gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) resections in a bi-institutional cohort.
Methods: Patients with gastric GIST (≤ 5 cm) who underwent laparoscopic or robotic resection (January 2014 to January 2024) were retrospectively identified from two GIST centers.
Long non-coding RNA MSC-AS1 confers imatinib resistance of gastrointestinal stromal tumor cells by activating FNDC1 and ANLN-mediated PI3K/AKT pathway.

Department of Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Surgery, China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University, No. 126 Sendai Street, Nanguan District, Changchun, 130031, China.
Imatinib resistance is a major obstacle to the successful treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been identified as important regulatory factors in chemotherapy resistance. This study aimed to identify key lncRNAs involved in imatinib resistance of GISTs.

Front Oncol
December 2024
Department of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance, Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China.
Objective: This study aims to develop and validate an enhanced computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model to differentiate gastric schwannomas (GS) from gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) across various risk categories.
Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted on 26 GS and 82 GIST cases, all confirmed by postoperative pathology. Data was divided into training and validation cohorts at a 7:3 ratio.
Prediction of Ki-67 expression in gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors using histogram analysis of monochromatic and iodine images derived from spectral CT.
Cancer Imaging
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Lanzhou University Second Hospital, Cuiyingmen No.82, Chengguan District, Lanzhou, 730030, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To assess and compare the diagnostic efficiency of histogram analysis of monochromatic and iodine images derived from spectral CT in predicting Ki-67 expression in gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gGIST).
Methods: Sixty-five patients with gGIST who underwent spectral CT were divided into a low-level Ki-67 expression group (LEG, Ki-67 < 10%, n = 33) and a high-level Ki-67 expression group (HEG, Ki-67 ≥ 10%, n = 32). Conventional CT features were extracted and compared.
Low-dose Imatinib Efficacy in a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Patient With Exon 11 W557_K558 Deletion.
In Vivo
December 2024
Department of Medical Oncology, Hyogo Cancer Center, Akashi, Japan.
Background/aim: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare cancers originating from Cajal's stromal cells in the gastrointestinal tract. The most common driver mutation in these cancers is the KIT mutation. This report presents a case of response to low-dose imatinib in a patient with GIST harboring KIT exon 11 W557_K558 deletion.
