Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie GIST - Introduction  Epidemiology : • Incidence approx. 15 / 1'000'000 /y • Prevalence 129 / 1'000'000 • 0.1 – 3% of all GI-malignoma • mean age 50-70y • Localization: [Kindblom LG et al.

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Etiology - Pathogenesis  Originate from ICC (interstitial cells of Cajal)  pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells  smooth muscular and neuronal properties  autonomous pacemaker of intestinal contractions  1998 gain-of-function Mutation of c-kit described  KIT 80-85% of GIST  PDGFRA 5-8% of GIST uncontrolled activation of tyrosine kinase uncontrolled growth / proliferation [Hirota S et al. Gain-of-function mutations of c-kit in human gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Science 1998;279:577] Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor GIST 25.07.2012 4

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Molecular genetics – c-Kit-mutation analysis  c-Kit-Mutation 1)  Exon 9: poorer response to Imatinib, poorer prognosis  Exon 11: better response to Imatinib, better prognosis  No known mutation: 'wild type' GIST, poor prognosis IGF1R probably plays a role 2) 1) [Heinrich MC et al.

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Clinical presentation  No symptoms 15 – 30%  Incidental findings e.g. on endoscopy, radiology, resections for other reasons  Symptomatic GIST ~75%  GI bleeding 25 – 53% (overt bleeding 34%)  Abdominal pain 20 – 50%  Passage 10 – 30%: N/V, early satiety, ileus, pain  Palpable mass 8 – 13% [Mucciarini C et al.

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Diagnostic workup  Diagnostic modalities :  Endoscopy  Endosonography  Radiology ( CT , PET-CT, MRI)  Histology / immunohistochemistry  Diagnostic modality of choice : 1)  EUS-guided biopsy / FNA (if feasible) Is biopsy mandatory?  In some situations biopsy may not be necessary (ie classic EUS findings, tumor easily resectable, preoperative therapy not required) 2) 1) [Demetri GD et al.

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Diagnostic workup Endoscopy • Endoscopic features of GIST: • Drawback of Endoscopy w/ biopsy (stacked / bite-on-bite): • Risk of bleeding / tumor perforation • Poor diagnostic yield (17-42%) [Hunt GC et al. Yield of tissue sampling for submucosal lesions evaluated by EUS. Gastrointest Endosc 2003;57:68] [Cantor MJ et al.

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Diagnostic workup EUS +/- biopsy/FNA – Advantages: Most accurate and reliable method to secure a diagnosis of GIST • Tissue sampling • Sufficient specimen for cytologic diagnosis and immunohistochemistry • Overall tissue yield of EUS-FNA in sampling subepithelial tumors: 91.8% • Calculated sensitivity for diagnosis of GIST: 95% • Helps assessing malignant potential • Diameter (ie >3-4cm) • Echogenic foci ≥ 2 criteria met: sensitivity 80-100% • Irregular borders • Cystic spaces ≥ 1 criteria met: sensitivity 91%, specifity 88%, • Lymph nodes PPV 83% [Ando N et al.

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Management localized GIST • Treatment strategies for localized GIST? • Resection or serial follow-up a) Possible high-risk EUS features: - irregular border - Cystic spaces - Ulceration - echogenic foci - heterogenity * ESMO/NCCN; AGA >3cm * b) „after a thorough discussion with the patient regarding the risks and benefits“ No large, prospective studies! Optimal frequency not defined! Low compliance for follow-up! Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor GIST 25.07.2012 13

Universitätsklinik für Viszerale Medizin – Gastroenterologie Management localized GIST Principles of surgery? • Complete tumor removal with clear resection margins • Avoidance of tumor rupture • Gastric GIST: lap. wedge resection when feasible • Routine lymphadenectomy not necessary 1) 1) [DeMatteo RP et al.
