摘要
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors, or GISTs, are now among the most treatable of solid malignancies. Assessing actual tumor response remains challenging; however, in this issue of Clinical Cancer Research, two articles discuss biomarkers potentially helpful in predicting response or other long-term benefits with standard tyrosine kinase therapy use.
