Preoperative Imatinib Mesylate Combined With Rectal-sparing Surgery in Patients With c-KIT Gene-mutant Rectal GIST
Sponsor: Fujian Medical University Union Hospital
Summary
Prior to the implementation of preoperative imatinib mesylate therapy, a considerable percentage (ranging from 34.5% to 67.5%) of individuals diagnosed with rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) underwent abdominoperineal resection (APR), a surgical procedure that involved the removal of the anus and necessitated a permanent colostomy. This study aims to investigate the safety and viability of an organ-preserving approach involving preoperative imatinib mesylate treatment in conjunction with local resection for rectal GIST, specifically targeting patients with c-KIT gene mutations.

Interventions
Imatinib Mesylate
1. For patients with c-KIT exon 11 mutation, imatinib mesylate, 400mg, qd. 2. For patients with c-KIT exon 9 mutation, imatinib mesylate, 600mg or 800mg, qd.
Local resection
According to the characteristics of the location of the tumor, the surgeon decides the surgical approach based on the existing literature and the availability of surgical equipment, including: 1. Local transanal resection (TA) 2. Local resection transsacralapproach 3. Local resection via perineal approach 4. Local resection transvaginal approach
