This Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)- Epidemiology Forecast-2032' report delivers an in-depth understanding of the Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST), historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) and Japan.
GIST progression is driven by mutations in KIT or PDGFRA or by other rare gene alterations, all of which are mutually exclusive. It is known that the majority of tumors of GIST will have mutations in the KIT gene, and a minority, in the PDGFR gene.
Wild-type GIST do not have mutations of the KIT or PDGFR genes. Some of the cases of wild-type GIST have been linked to genes involved in the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme complex (i.e., SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, or SDHD genes). Additional genes have been linked to wild-type GIST, includes BRAF, KRAS, and NRAS mutations.
After physical examination, CT scan (CAT scan), MRI, Endoscopic ultrasound, biopsy, Immunohistochemistry, Mitotic rate, PET scan can be performed to confirm the disease and its severity.
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Disease Understanding
As per GIST Support International, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is rare cancer affecting the digestive tract or nearby structures within the abdomen. It is a sarcoma that arises either from cells called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) or from less differentiated stem cells or precursor cells that can develop into ICCs.GIST progression is driven by mutations in KIT or PDGFRA or by other rare gene alterations, all of which are mutually exclusive. It is known that the majority of tumors of GIST will have mutations in the KIT gene, and a minority, in the PDGFR gene.
Wild-type GIST do not have mutations of the KIT or PDGFR genes. Some of the cases of wild-type GIST have been linked to genes involved in the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme complex (i.e., SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, or SDHD genes). Additional genes have been linked to wild-type GIST, includes BRAF, KRAS, and NRAS mutations.
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Diagnosis
A GIST diagnosis is typically made or ruled out based on a patient's medical history, a comprehensive physical examination, and the results of a series of tests. The testing methods used to confirm or rule out a GIST can vary based on a patient's symptoms and other individual factors.After physical examination, CT scan (CAT scan), MRI, Endoscopic ultrasound, biopsy, Immunohistochemistry, Mitotic rate, PET scan can be performed to confirm the disease and its severity.
