Overview
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor affects men and women equally.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Although they comprise fewer than 1% of all gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, GIST are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract.
- It has been estimated that there are 3,300 to 6,000 new GIST cases per year in the United States.
- A study based on Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry data found that the age-adjusted yearly incidence of GIST in the United States was 6.8 per million from 1992 to 2000. However, the true incidence is not known, in part because many tumors were not tested for the characteristic KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) gene mutations. In addition, small, indolent GIST, only a few millimeters in diameter, are common in the general population and are not included in cancer registries.
- GIST are equally distributed across all geographic and ethnic groups and men and women are equally affected.
- Most patients present between the ages of 50 and 80.
- The vast majority of GIST are sporadic, but there are rare familial forms associated with the characteristic heritable mutations in the KIT gene (or, rarely, in succinate dehydrogenase genes in Carney-Stratakis syndrome). Familial GIST may present as multiple primary tumors.
- GIST have an equal male-to-female ratio or a slight male predominance
