Predicting Malignant Potential of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Using Endoscopic Ultrasound
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract arising from the interstitial cells of Cajal and stain positive for c-kit, a proto-oncogene protein. Approximately 5,000-6,000 cases are identified each year with approximately 30% of these lesions progressing...
