Six years survival on imatinib with no disease progression after diagnosis of metastatic duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumour: a case report [PDF]
Introduction: A duodenal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) is a rare finding and until recently advanced disease had a poor prognosis. A PubMed search revealed no reports of more than five years survival of inoperable GIST on chemotherapy with WHO ...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the Treitz’s angle– a very rare cause of high bowel obstruction [PDF]
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are somewhat rare gastrointestinal tumors - approximately 1% to 3% incidence, but they are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract.

The effect of imatinib mesylate on the proliferation, invasive ability, and radiosensitivity of retinoblastoma cell lines [PDF]
Purpose Our aim was to evaluate the potential effect of imatinib mesylate (IM), a small molecule that specifically inhibits the tyrosine quinase receptors, on the proliferation and invasive abilities of two human retinoblastoma (Rb) cell lines ...

Roles of TIF1β in Leukemic Stem Cell Through SETDB1‐Dependent and Independent Mechanisms
In leukemic stem cell, BCR::ABL cooperates with TIF1β to open chromatin at oncogenes and close chromatin at differentiation regulators, driving leukemic reprogramming. In TIF1β‐deficient stem cell, the loss of TIF1β inverts this balance, showing closed chromatin at oncogenes and open chromatin at differentiation regulators.

ABSTRACT Background Dasatinib, a potent second‐generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is highly effective in chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML‐CP) resistant to imatinib at standard dosing (100 mg daily), but is often limited by adverse events.

Detection of BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations in CD34+ cells from newly diagnosed chronic phase CML patients and their association with imatinib resistance [PDF]
BCR-ABL kinase domain (KD) mutations, the most common cause of imatinib resistance, are infrequently detected in newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) patients.

Imatinib mesylate (STI571) is a substrate for the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)/ABCG2 drug pump [PDF]
Imatinib mesylate (STI571), a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is successfully used in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. However, the intended chronic oral administration of imatinib may
