Gastric sarcomas arise from mesenchymal components of the gastric wall and constitute about 3% of all gastric malignancies.
GISTs were previously classified as leiomyomas or leiomyosarcomas. Histologically, they appear to arise from the muscularis propria & not mucosa; most likely originate from the cells of Cajal.
Kit is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor,The Kit protein is detected by immunohistochemistry and can reliably distinguish GISTs from true smooth muscle neoplasms.
Imatinib mesylate (formerly ST1517, now Glivic/Gleevec) is a competitive inhibitor of certain tyrosine kinases, including the kinases associated with the transmembrane receptor Kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptors. Initial studies showed encouraging results, with 54% of patients exhibiting at least a partial response
