Building bridges to better health.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Treatment methods include drug therapy, surgery, radiotherapy/chemotherapy, etc.
1. Drug therapy
is mainly molecular tumor drug therapy. Doctors will use imatinib, sunitinib, regofenib and other drugs before or after surgery to reduce the risk of surgery and reduce the recurrence rate of patients.
2. Surgical treatment
can directly remove tumor lesions. Common surgical methods include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, gastrointestinal endoscopic resection, etc. If tumor ruptures during surgery, it may cause bleeding and intra-abdominal implant metastasis.
3. Radiotherapy is
not sensitive to radiotherapy/chemotherapy, but for localized lesions or bone metastases, patients can receive palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy after routine treatment fails to improve patient pain.
