This study explores the role of pre-operative Imatinib in metastatic, recurrent, and locally advanced GISTs, assessing its effectiveness in downstaging tumors and influencing surgical intervention. Results highlight varying survival rates and outcomes based on treatment response and disease stage.

Incidence • Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours GIST are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. • The incidence is 15 to 20 cases per million population per year for symptomatic and clinically detected GIST. Kindblom, LG et al : Ann Oncol 2002: 13 (Suppl 5):157, 2002.
Organ distribution Stomach - 70% Small bowel - 20% Colorectum, oesophagus, EGIST - 10%.

Background • Surgical resection is feasible in approximately two thirds of patients with primary non-metastatic disease. • Approximately half of these patients eventually develop intra-peritoneal recurrence or liver metastases. • The 5- and 10-year survival after curative resection is 32% to 78% and 19% to 63%, respectively.

Background • Imatinib is the effective therapy for metastatic and inoperable GIST. • A sufficient down staging may allow surgical resection either with a curative intent before or at the time of resistance.
Background • Stable disease rate 30% • Partial response rate 50% • Complete response rate 2%.
Patients • Twenty five cases of locally advanced primary, recurrent or metastatic GIST treated preoperatively with Imatinib were identified from the sarcoma database in our Unit.
Design • Sex, race, age at presentation. • Site of primary tumour and extent of disease at presentation. • Dose of Imatinib prior to the operation, side effects and duration of treatment. • Maximal tumour diameter and radiological response. • Surgical procedure and completeness of resection. • Disease status at last follow-up.

Summary 1 • 2/7 of the metastatic and recurrent GIST patients achieved macroscopic clearance . • 5/7 alive after a median period of 46 months (range 20-77)
Summary 2 • 94% of the locally advanced group are alive at median FU 9.5 months (range 5-52). • Median duration on Imatinib was 27 months for recurrent and metastatic GIST versus 9 months for locally advanced.
Summary 3 • R2 resection was associated with worse survival. • Absence of pathological response was associated with 50% survival versus 90% for partial response.
Conclusions • Recurrent /metastatic patients required longer duration of treatment before surgery and were less likely to achieve the goal of complete macroscopic clearance. • Hence the survival was inferior to the locally advanced group.
