Incidence and Survival Outcomes of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
In this cohort study using SEER data, the incidence of GISTs in major organ sites increased in the last 2 decades among several population groups. These findings suggest that additional studies are warranted to identify risk factors, because histologic reclassification and higher availability of endoscopy and imaging do not fully explain these unfavorable incidence trends. Prevention efforts are needed to reduce the substantial survival disparities among racial and ethnic minoritized populations.
