Article Abstract
The study of 36 cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) (n = 26 of the stomach and n = 10 of the duodenum, small bowel, and rectum) indicated that among the clinical symptoms, there were prevalent abdominal pains and gastrointestinal bleeding. Local invasion and metastases were detected in 11 patients. According to the risk of aggressiveness, 1 tumor presented a very low risk; 5, a low risk; 14, a moderate risk; and 16 a high risk. All GISTs with mucosal infiltration were in high and moderate risk groups. The expression of p27 did not depend on that of other markers, the sizes of a tumor, its histological type, and affinity to this or that risk group. There was a statistically significant difference in the expression of Ki-67 in the groups of low (1.7%) and high (10.3%) risks.

Free-Hand Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection for Duodenal Subepithelial Lesions.
J Gastroenterol Hepatol
January 2025
Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Background And Aim: This work aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of free-hand endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) for duodenal subepithelial lesions (SELs).
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 105 patients with duodenal SELs who underwent free-hand EFTR. Free-hand EFTR means no other devices (over-the-scope clip or full-thickness resection device) are required.
Design, Synthesis, and SAR of Covalent KIT and PDGFRA Inhibitors─Exploring Their Potential in Targeting GIST.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), driven by KIT and PDGFRA mutations, are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have advanced treatment, resistance mutations and off-target toxicity limit their efficacy. This study develops covalent TKIs targeting drug-resistant GIST through structure-based design, synthesis, and biological evaluation.

The small intestine is the longest segment of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but cancers in the small intestine are infrequent. The duodenojejunal (DJ) flexure is an uncommon site for tumors, and those located in these sites are difficult to identify and manage properly. Their rarity, along with ambiguous symptoms that can be readily misattributed to milder conditions, results in a delayed diagnosis when the tumors have significantly advanced.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), though rare, are associated with neurofibromatosis (NF) type 1 and may cause significant gastrointestinal bleeding. A 42-year-old male with NF1 presented with severe hematochezia and underwent initial non-contrast CT, which was negative for abnormalities. Subsequent endoscopies and PillCam studies also revealed no clear bleeding source.

Background: Ripretinib, a broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment of advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors in adult patients. Clinical studies have shown that higher exposure of ripretinib correlates with improved efficacy, highlighting the potential clinical significance of therapeutic drug monitoring. In this study, a simple and stable liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was attempted to be established and validated for pharmacokinetic studies of ripretinib and its metabolite DP-5439 and therapeutic drug monitoring in human plasma.
