Resumen

El tumor estromal gastrointestinal (GIST) es el tumor mesenquimal más frecuente en el tracto digestivo. La mayoría de los GIST poseen una característica mutación con ganancia de función del gen c-KIT, que codifica el receptor KIT para el factor de células Stem. El reconocimiento de este tumor ha adquirido más importancia tras la disponibilidad de un inhibidor de la tirosina quinasa KIT, mesilato de Imatinib, llamado comercialmente Glivec (Novartis-Pharma, Basilea, Suiza), en el tratamiento de los tumores metastásicos e irresecables.

El propósito de este trabajo es la revisión de la patología, pronóstico y tratamiento de los tumores GIST.
