The authors report on a case of voluminous perforated gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of small intestine and make a review to the light of most recent clinicopathologic advancements. The first clinical manifestation as acute abdomen due to their perforation extremely rare. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) represent a rare group of multiform tumors with various biological behaviour. Were identified in the past as leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas or leiomyoblastomas, has been reclassified on immunochemical features, with a positive expression of Kit (CD117 antigen). Traditionally the prognostic factors of these tumour are: mitotic rate, tumor size and anatomic site. The complete surgical resection and use of imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) are the best available approach.

Background: Gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions (SELs) range from benign to malignant. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is used widely for pathological diagnosis of SELs. Early diagnosis and treatment are important because all Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have some degree of malignant potential.

The cellular components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) comprise cancer cells and nonmalignant cells including stromal and immune cells. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by various types of cells that play a crucial role in intercellular communications within TME. The main goal of this study was to elucidate how exosomes of macrophage cells treated with doxorubicin (DOX) and DOX-loaded cyclodextrin-based nanosponges (DOX-CDNSs), affect melanoma cancer cell proliferation.

Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the predominant stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment of gastric cancer (GC), interacting with both immune and tumor cells to drive cancer progression. However, the precise link between these interactions and their potential as therapeutic targets remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified for the first time that nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) derived from CAFs promoted M2 macrophage polarization, which, in turn, facilitated the proliferation and migration of GC cells.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare in the rectum. These usually present with symptoms produced by compression of pelvic organs or bleeding. Surgery is the treatment of choice, however, at times the surgery can be mutilating and organ preservation may not be possible.

Objective: Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), is the first-line treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Imatinib and tacrolimus are both substrates of the hepatic enzymes CYP3A4/5 and efflux transporter P-gp, so drug-drug interactions may occur during their co-administration treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic interaction between imatinib and tacrolimus in rats.
