Tumores del estroma gastrointestinal: mutaciones en los genes KIT y PDGFRA

Los tumores del estroma gastrointestinal (GIST) son neoplasias de baja incidencia localizadas mayoritariamente en la pared gástrica (60%) o en el intestino delgado (25%), cuyo origen reside en las células intersticiales de Cajal, reguladoras de la motilidad del tubo digestivo. Las opciones terapéuticas disponibles en el caso de los  GIST con potencial agresivo – alrededor […]
