 ACS :: What Are Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors?
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon tumors of the GI tract.
GISTs are different from these more common GI tract cancers, in large part because they start in different types of cells.
GISTs are also quite different in their prognosis (outlook for survival) and their treatment.

GIST arises in the wall of the stomach, small and large intestine, and is diagnosed in 5,000 to 10,000 Americans annually.
It was already known that 80 percent to 90 percent of GISTs are associated with abnormal mutations of an enzyme known as KIT and that about 5 percent to 10 percent of GISTs have a mutation of a related enzyme called PDGFRA.
The results demonstrated a striking clinical benefit -- in 65 percent of the patients the disease stabilized for at least six months and a partial response was observed in 13 percent of the patients.

 Issue of May 4, 2004
The odd thing about "gist," given that it means "the essence, the central truth of something," is that the word "gist" itself began life as a slight mistake.
Back in the 17th century, a phrase commonly used in Anglo-French legal jargon was "cest action gist," which meant "this action lies" (the Old French "gist" being a form of the verb "gesir," to rest or lie).
"Cest action gist" was used to assert the central point of a case or argument ("This action lies in the defendant's treason," for example) and, being a useful term, was adopted into English legal use in the early 18th century.

Thus, the presence of exon 11–activating mutations in KIT was the strongest prognostic factor for response to imatinib mesylate, reducing the relative risk of progression by 83% (P <.0001) and the relative risk of death by 96% (P <.0001).
Patients had metastatic and/or unresectable GIST and had imatinib mesylate–resistant disease or were not able to tolerate imatinib mesylate therapy.
