Joint Hospital Surgical Grand Round (25 Jan 2014)Lok Hon Ting (Prince of Wales Hospital)
Treatment for localized disease
Asymptomatic, < 2cm lesion Endoscopic USG
1. interval endoscopic assessment, currently no evidence-based surveillance policy available
2. Standard treatment is surgical excision Rectal GIST – surgical excision indicated regardless of tumor size
because of higher risk of malignancy and local implications for surgery
Symptomatic or > 2cm lesion Standard treatment is surgical excision
Principle of SurgeryWide local resection (R0 resection)
Extended lymphadenectomy not requiredPrevalence of lymph node metastasis ~1%
Avoid tumor rupture Tumor rupture decreased peritoneal recurrence-free interval from 31 months to
11 monthsCancer 1992 Mar 15;69(6): 1334 – 41
Nearly all patients develop abdominal metastasis after rupture of GISTBr J Surg 2010 Dec;97(12):1854–9.
Laparoscopic approach feasible
Challenges in the treatment of GISTRecurrenceMetastatic diseaseLocally advanced disease
Imatinib mesylate
Tyrosine kinase inhibitorBlocks the kinase activity of KIT, arrest
proliferation and causes apoptosis
Adverse events in ~20%,
Life threatening tumor hemorrhage in ~5%

Imatinib as Adjuvant TherapyACOGSOG Z9001 study
713 patients CD117+ve GIST at least 3cm in size
Imatinib 400mg daily for 1 year versus placebo
Improvement in progression-free survival with a median follow-up of 19.7 months
Lancet 2009 March 28; 373(9669): 1097 - 1104
• SSG XVIII Study• 785 patients with high risk resected
GIST• 36 months versus 12 months duration
of Imatinib• superior recurrence-free survival and
overall survival with a median follow-up of 54 months
JAMA 2012;307(12): 1265 - 1272
Recurrence-free survival Overall survival
Imatinib as Adjuvant TherapyDuration of adjuvant beyond 3 years?
EORTC 62024 trial PERSIST-5 trialOn-going trials with interim report suggesting benefits with an
extended duration of adjuvant imatinib
Giant Gastric GIST in 2001M/48
Laparotomy: attempted dissection resulted in massive bleeding open and close
Post-op complicated with gastrocutaneous fistula
Started Imatinib 400mg daily Significant clinical and radiological response
Re-laparotomy offered but refused
Multiple liver metastasis at 22 months and succumbed at 30 months after treatment
Giant Gastric GIST in 2001Dramatic clinical and radiological response with Imatinib
As evidenced by multiple RCTs with long term follow-up, 83 – 89% of patients either respond or achieve durable stable disease
Imatinib does FAIL secondary resistance and disease progression occurs at a median time
interval of 2 years
Strategy:? No surgery in view of inevitable progression? Surgery after initial response before it’s too late
Giant Gastric GIST in 2010F/37
12 x 9.5 x 13cm Gastric GIST with splenic artery encasement
Imatinib 400mg daily for 7 months
Giant Gastric GIST in 2010Significant radiological
response
Surgical resection done in July 2010
Post-op adjuvant Imatinib for 1 year (stopped due to financial reason)
No relapse in latest follow-up
Neoadjuvant Imatinib therapy for locally advanced GIST
Median tumour size was 12.2cm (range 5.2 - 30)
Median duration of Imatinib: 8 months
Median tumor size after Imatinib: 6cm
R0 Resection n=48, R1 resection n = 8
Neoadjuvant Imatinib therapy for locally advanced GIST
• Retrospective analysis of databases of ten EORTC STBSG centers
• 161 patients with locally advanced, non-metastatic GISTs who received neo-adjuvant imatinib therapy
• 2 patients had disease progression before operation. R0 resection 83%
Pre-op Target therapy + Surgery for metastatic GISTWhy surgery in metastatic GIST
1. Symptomatic tumor (bleeding/obstruction) as palliation2. Single progressive disease3. Decreasing tumor load decrease risk of secondary resistance
to target therapy
Pre-op Target therapy + Surgery for metastatic GIST
ConclusionAdvances in Target Therapy revolutionized the management
of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Combination of target therapy agent and surgery had encouraging outcome in selected patients
New data from on-going clinical researches, mutation analysis and new biological agents (sunitinib, Regorafinib) will probably bring further breakthrough for the management of GIST
What is GISTSoft tissue neoplasm of mesenchymal origin arising in the
gastrointestinal tract
Originated from interstitial cell of Cajal
Symptoms depends on site of GIST Stomach (50 – 60%) Small Bowel (30 – 35%) Colon and Rectum (5%) Esophagus (<1%)
DiagnosisEndoscopy: submucosal tumor
Endoscopic ultrasonography: hypoechoic mass contiguous with muscularis propria or muscularis mucosae
Computed Tomography
Pathological diagnosis Morphology: Spindle cell (70%), epithelioid (20%), mixed
(10%) Immunohistochemistry: CD 117 (90% cases), DOG1
10 – 30% of GISTs are overtly malignant at presentation
Benign versus malignantRisk stratification methods
National institutes of Health consensus criteria (tumor size, mitotic figure)
Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Criteria (tumor size & site, mitotic figure)
Modified NIH (tumor size & site, mitotic figure, history of rupture)
