[Surgical treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors].

Interdisciplinary management is required in the therapy of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, in consideration of complex strategies in the treatment of patients with GIST. Endoscopy, histopathology - mutation analysis included - but also radio diagnostic, surgery and oncology are topics in treating patients suffering from GIST. Especially in cases of advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor or metastatic disease our multidisciplinary knowledge is required, because information about these entities are rather rare.
