Outstanding Response to Sorafenib in a Patient with Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour

Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is the most common sarcoma and can be seen in any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitors varies with mutation status in receptor tyrosine kinase KIT and in platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA). This case prese...

Outstanding Response to Sorafenib in a Patient with Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour
description Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is the most common sarcoma and can be seen in any part of the gastrointestinal tract.
