Radiofrequency ablation vs. hepatectomy for liver metastases from gastrointestinal stromal tumors
In conclusion, hepatectomy combined with TKI therapy improved prognosis for patients with liver metastases to a greater extent than RFA combined with TKI therapy. For this type of patient, hepatectomy may be a preferable option.PMID:38362234 | PMC:PMC10867732 | DOI:10.3892/ol.2024.14266 (Source: Oncology Letters)

Glycaemic abnormalities induced by small molecule tryosine kinase inhibitors: a review
Front Pharmacol. 2024 Feb 1;15:1355171. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1355171. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIn light of the expected increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus due to an aging population, sedentary lifestyles, an increase in obesity, and unhealthy diets, there is a need to identify potential pharmacological agents that can heighten the risk of developing diabetes. Similarly, it is equally important to also identify those agents that show blood glucose-lowering properties. Amongst these agents are tyrosine kinase inhibitors used to treat certain types of cancers. Over the last two decades, there has been an incre...

Referral patterns of GIST patients: data from a nationwide study
CONCLUSION: A substantial amount of metastatic GIST patients in non-reference centers did not receive systemic treatment. This might be due to valid reasons. However, optimisation of the referral strategy of GIST patients in the Netherlands could benefit patients. Further research is needed to explore reasons for not starting systemic treatment in metastatic GIST patients.PMID:38353407 | DOI:10.2340/1651-226X.2024.23722 (Source: Acta Oncologica)
