European Journal of Surgical Oncology Aug 16, 2018
Zhang X, et al. - Among gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients undergoing R0 resection or optimal cytoreductive surgery, researchers determined progression-free survival (PFS) when with sunitinib therapy vs imatinib following tumor unifocal or multifocal progression.
