CTOS is an international group comprised of physicians and scientists with a primary interest in the tumors of connective tissues. The goal of the society is to advance the care of patients with connective tissue tumors.
The LRG published "Barriers to mutational testing in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) – a survey of Life Raft Group members" in BMC Gastroenterology, November 2022.
The Life Raft Group Data Management & Research and Communications Team attended remotely to gain knowledge of current research in GIST and to track breaking news and social media networking. In this post, we present commentary on several presentations and posters.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) creates guidelines for different diseases to guide physicians in their clinical practice. In this webinar, Dr. von Mehren will educate GIST patients and caregivers about these guidelines and provide some case study examples of how guidelines fit into the rubric of patient care.
