Abstract
The management of advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor is increasingly complex because of imatinib refractory disease. Primary resistance to imatinib is uncommon, and most patients progress after development of additional genetic changes. This article reviews management strategies including surgical approaches, local modalities for progressive liver metastases, as well as novel therapeutic agents.Entities:
