The successful management of two pregnancies with wild type metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumorsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: While we have successfully managed two pregnant women with metastatic GIST, the issue of initiating imatinib therapy in treatment-naive women, and treatment interruption in women already on therapy, remain difficult areas. Patients and their partners need to make an informed choice regarding the associated risks and the potential long-term sequelae if pregnancies are contemplated. Further research into the natural history of wild type GIST and how to tailor subsequent treatment are needed. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology)

Reversible encephalopathy following 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehyrogenase deficiencyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report two patients with advanced gastric cancer who developed acute encephalopathy after receiving chemotherapy composed of 5-FU and oxaliplatin. One patient presented with altered consciousness and the other with generalized tonic clonic seizure. 5-FU-induced encephalopathy was suspected by clinical, radiological and electroencephalographic findings, and both patients had reduced expression of dihyropyrimidine dehydrogenase, the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for the catabolism of 5-FU. The neurological symptoms improved spontaneously, and did not recur in the following cycle of chemotherapy with the administration ...

A couple with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a 70-year old woman with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and her partner, a 79-year old man with multiple gastric GIST tumors. This tumor is considered a rare malignancy with a reported incidence of 6[ndash]13 new cases per million. Our patients were found to have different genetic mutations in the C-KIT gene as the cause of their disease but, given the rarity of this tumor, it raises a question about their possible exposure to carcinogens or another shared mechanism that might have been involved in the pathogenesis of this cancer.
