Prospective Database of Gastrointestinal Stromal Cell Tumors (GISTs)

Completed

Conditions studied: Gastrointestinal Stromal Cell Tumors, Foregut Subepithelial Lesions

In brief

Specific Aim 1: To determine patient compliance with a GIST surveillance program Hypothesis: Patient compliance with a GIST surveillance program will be low. Specific Aim 2: To determine if EUS features of GIST, particularly maximum size, change significantly during a surveillance program. Hypothesis: EUS features of GIST, particularly maximum size, will not change significantly during a surveillance program. Specific Aim 3: To determine if EGD measures of GIST size correlate well with EUS measures of GIST size. Hypothesis: EGD measures of GIST size will correlate well with EUS measured of GIST size.
