Gastrointestinal stromal tumours

Brinder S. Mahon, Beatrice Seddon, Ian Geh

Abstract

Abstract Chapter 10 discusses gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), which are rare tumours arising from the same common mesenchymal stem cell precursor as the interstitial cells of Cajal, which are pacemaker cells of the autonomic nervous system, located within the wall of the gut and responsible for gastrointestinal (GI) tract peristalsis.
