Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

What is a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)? A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a relatively uncommon type of cancer that occurs in the GI tract. A gastrointestinal stromal tumor is difficult to diagnosis because it causes few symptoms in early stages. Later stage symptoms of a GIST include vague abdominal pain, vomiting, early feeling of fullness, abdominal bleeding and fatigue due to anemia.
