GleevecÂ® (imatinib mesylate) in the treatment of GIST: Gleevec is a type of targeted therapy that works by inhibiting a protein called tyrosine kinase. Tyrosine kinase is overproduced in GIST cells and is responsible for helping the cancer cells survive and grow.
The most common treatment for GIST is surgery. This alone may cure small tumours. But it is less likely that a surgeon can completely remove a larger tumour. If GIST has spread to other parts of your body, your surgeon may be able to remove these secondary tumours too.enerally speaking, the larger the GIST, the more likely it is to behave like cancer. And if left untreated, a benign behaving tumour can start to act like a cancerous tumour. These tumours have a rather complicated name. Gastrointestinal means they start in the digestive system (the gastrointestinal tract).
