 Summary: 
 Imatinib is the current standard treatment for advanced GIST. Previous studies have shown
that GIST genotype was associated with treatment outcomes with exon 11 having superior
outcome compared with exon 9 or WT.10, 11 In patients with exon 9 kit mutation, the
response rate was higher at when imatinib was given at 800mg daily compared with the
standard dose of 400mg daily. Although the data linking tyrosine kinase mutation status
and imatinib response in metastatic GISTs is intriguing, more information is needed
before mutation testing is adopted as part of the routine analysis of high-risk or
overtly malignant KIT-expressing GISTs.25 Despite the fact that exon 9 mutations are
associated with a lower response rate, overall survival does not appear to be better with
high-dose therapy. The investigators propose to conduct a retrospective analysis of
mutational analysis on patients with GIST and determine the relationship between patient
response and imatinib dose.
