Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the commonest mesenchymal tumor of gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, pain and abdominal lump are the common clinical manifestations. Local or segmental resection provides satisfactory results. Methods: Between January 2010 and November 2017, we performed surgery for 14 cases of GIST Results: Resection was completed in 13 cases. In one case definitive surgery was abandoned due to local invasion and metastasis. Conclusion: Non-radical surgery in the form of local or segmental resection is the standard surgical approach for GIST management. Recurrence rate is low and long term survival is satisfactory.
