- Abstract
In recent years, imatinib mesylate (STI 571), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown short-term clinical usefulness for gastrointestinal stromal tumor or gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma (GIST). The value of surgical resection, including hepatectomy, for metastatic GIST remains unknown. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of surgical resection, including hepatectomy, for metastatic GIST at a single institute.
