Questions about gastrointestinal stromal tumor

Are there specific genetic markers that make gastrointestinal stromal tumors more likely to return?

Yes, mutations in KIT and PDGFRA genes, as well as germline variants near SLC6A18 and TERT, are linked to higher recurrence risk in GIST.

What are the 5-year relapse-free survival results for high-risk GIST patients on adjuvant imatinib?

For high-risk GIST patients, 5-year relapse-free survival is about 74% with ≤3 years of adjuvant imatinib and 84% with >3 years, based on a 2026 retrospective study.
