pubmed:abstractText
The natural history of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has been revolutionized by imatinib mesylate (imatinib) therapy. Before imatinib, Bcl-2 expression in GIST was associated with a worse prognosis or added no additional prognostic value. To the authors' knowledge, the current study is the first to evaluate Bcl-2 expression in pre-imatinib GIST tissue samples as a prognostic marker of progression-free survival (PFS) time in patients treated with imatinib.
