Adjuvant Imatinib Beyond 3 Years in High-Risk GIST: 5-Year Relapse-Free Survival Outcomes
Extending Imatinib beyond 3 years did not improve survival for high-risk GIST patients
This retrospective cohort study evaluated adjuvant imatinib duration in 75 patients with high-risk GIST after radical surgery.
A look at past data shows taking Imatinib longer than three years did not help high-risk GIST patients live longer or stay cancer-free.
