GIST is a rare type of sarcoma found in the digestive system, most often in the wall of the stomach. Some GISTS behave in a non cancerous (benign) way. Or they can behave in a cancerous (malignant) way.
GIST is an abbreviation for GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumour. 1  Gastrointestinal means that it occurs in the digestive tract, anywhere from the oesophagus to the rectum i.e. the gullet, stomach, intestines. So, for example, a GIST in or near the colon is not cancer of the colon because it does not occur in the functioning part of the colon but in the tissues which support the colon.
