Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characterization of gastrointestinal stromal tumour at four tertiary health centers in Nigeria using CD117, DOG1, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 biomarkers

Conclusions: In our study, GISTs most frequently develop in the stomach, and CD117 and DOG1 are essential for correctly diagnosing these tumors. However, HER-2 immunoreactivity is a predictive marker of survival for personalized care.
