Molecular Tailored Therapeutic Options for Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs): Current Practice and Future Perspectives.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are one of the most common mesenchymal tumors characterized by different molecular alterations that lead to specific clinical presentations and behaviors. In the last twenty years, thanks to the discovery of these mutations, several new treatment options have emerged. This review provides an extensive overview of GISTs' molecular pathways and their respective tailored therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, current treatment strategies under investigation and future perspectives are analyzed and discussed.
