This book presents a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of this field. It covers all aspects of GIST from epidemiology, pathological classification and evaluation, and molecular biology through to diagnosis, minimal invasive or aggressive surgery, radiotherapy, management, and therapeutic options including the latest molecular targeted agents. This subject is addressed in five sections. The first section of the book presents the overview, the management of rectal and esophageal GIST, and Asian consensus guidelines. The overview covers its unique biologic behavior, clinicopathological features, molecular mechanisms, and treatment implications. Most cases of GIST arise in the stomach and small intestine, although esophageal and rectal GISTs are rare.
