Background

GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumor) is a tumor that forms on the wall of the digestive tract, such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, and is said to be a type of tumor that constitutes a "submucosal tumor." It shows different characteristics from gastric cancer and colon cancer that arise from mucous membranes. It is thought to be caused by overgrowth of specialized cells (Cajal interneurons) in the muscle layer beneath the wall of the digestive tract.
