MOLECULAR TESTING IN GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOURS - WE'VE GOT THE GIST OF IT, NOW LET'S GO FORWARD.
Molecular testing in gastrointestinal stromal tumours has expanded beyond the original discovery of cKIT mutations. Molecular analysis is essential for diagnosis, prognostication and treatment of these tumours.

| Summary: | Molecular testing in gastrointestinal stromal tumours has expanded beyond the original discovery of cKIT mutations. Molecular analysis is essential for diagnosis, prognostication and treatment of these tumours. Les tests moléculaires réalisés en cas de tumeurs stromales gastro-intestinales servent désormais à bien plus que la simple mise en évidence de mutations de c-kit. En effet, les analyses moléculaires sont maintenant essentielles au diagnostic, au pronostic et au traitement de ces tumeurs. |
