A Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) is a rare type of cancer that arises from the interstitial cells of Cajal in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. GISTs are characterized by mutations in the KIT or PDGFRA genes, which drive their growth. Treatment typically includes surgical removal of the tumor, and targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (such as imatinib) is often used, particularly for advanced or metastatic cases.
