Abstract

Abstract Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) represent a significant clinical challenge due to their resistance to conventional chemotherapy. This study aims to provide an update on the clinical, morphological, pathological, and therapeutic aspects of GISTs treated at our institution over an 11-year period. We highlight the efficacy of Imatinib as a targeted therapy and emphasize the importance of complete surgical resection. Additionally, we present a case of concomitant gastric adenocarcinoma and duodenal GIST, underscoring the need for comprehensive clinical evaluation in these cases.
