Taming the Wild-Type Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: Improved Tissue Culture.
Andrew M BlakelyJohn W GlodMary Frances Wedekind MalonePublished in: Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (2021)
Wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors (WT GIST) are most frequently characterized by succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency. Reliable ex vivo tumor models have been difficult to develop given the downstream metabolic effects of SDH deficiency. Improved tumor modeling approaches are needed to develop effective systemic treatment options for patients with WT GIST.See related article by Yebra et al., p. xxxx.
