Objective: To investigate the angiographic feature and its diagnostic value in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
Methods: Twelve patients with pathologically proved GIST underwent angiography using PUCK and DSA one week before operation. The origin, size, morphology and angiographic appearance of the lesion were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: It was found that two tumors originated from stomach, eight from jejunum, and two from ileum. Seven cases were benign but five malignant. Obviously thickened and enlarged feeding artery was detected in eight tumors, and early-developed vein was found in three. Two types of angiographic changes of GIST were observed: 1) twisted irregular neoplastic vessels with partially coarse and indistinct margin were found in four cases, which were all malignant; 2) ball-like neoplastic vessels with homogeneous stain in tumor were found in eight cases, seven of them were benign but one was malignant.
Conclusion: Angiography may be helpful in localization and diagnosis as well as defining the size of GIST, and especially in patients with melena of unknown origin.

Monitoring neoadjuvant treatment-induced surgical benefit in GIST patients using CT-based radiological criteria.

Objective: This single-centre retrospective study aims to determine the incidence of therapy-induced surgical benefit in patients with non-metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) treated with neoadjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and evaluate whether this can be predicted by radiological response criteria.
Methods: Thirty-nine non-metastatic GIST patients were treated with neoadjuvant TKI treatment, followed by curative-intended surgery, and monitored using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT). Surgical benefit was independently assessed by two surgical oncologists and was defined by de-escalation of surgical strategy or reduced surgical complexity.
Objectives: Endoscopic full-thickness resection for gastric submucosal tumors is gradually gaining popularity, and secure and amenable closure is key to its success. This study aimed to compare the reopenable clip over-the-line method with the purse-string method for defect closure after endoscopic full-thickness resection for gastric submucosal tumors.
Methods: This historical control trial included 37 consecutive patients with 37 gastric submucosal tumors, who underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection between January 2021 and July 2024.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (aVEGF-TMA) was recently discovered in patients with malignant tumors. Four aVEGF-TMA patients diagnosed by renal biopsy between 2018 and 2022 were identified, and all were females aged 30-62 years (mean age, 47 years). Two patients with malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors who received sunitinib were analyzed.
