Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • histologically confirmed GIST and finding of cKIT or PDGFR mutation in tissue • localized, locally advanced or limited metastatic GIST disease • high risk of relapse according to AFIP criteria • planned resection, including local resection and multivisceral resection aiming for complete resection • planned follow-up visits according to the current national guidelines (including standard of care imaging) • = 18 years * Neoadjuvant treatment and adjuvant treatment after resection are allowed after admission.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • locally advanced or metastatic disease not amenable to curative surgery • additional tumor disease in the past 3 years except for cervical carcinoma treated in line with guidelines or basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin • life expectancy < 3 months • lack of cKIT or PDGFRA mutation in tissue
