| Abstract | Imatinib mesylate is an effective treatment for recurrent or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), but secondary resistance has been reported. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib malate has shown efficacy in imatinib-resistant GISTs, and has been used as second-line therapy for recurrent or metastatic GISTs. However, it is often difficult to treat patients with imatinib- and sunitinib-resistant GISTs. In this report, we describe a case of surgically resected liver and peritoneal recurrences of GISTs that arose polyclonally and were resistant to imatinib and sunitinib. A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital with multiple recurrent GISTs after failed imatinib treatment. Sunitinib was administered at 50 mg/day for 4 weeks with 2-week intervals between treatments. Some of the recurrent GISTs were sensitive, but others were resistant, and progressive disease was diagnosed. Extended left hepatectomy and peritoneal tumorectomy were performed. Histologically, tumors sensitive to sunitinib showed degenerative changes, while the resistant tumors consisted of KIT-positive, viable GIST cells. The primary mutation in all the tumors consisted of a deletion at nucleotides 555–560 with an E554D point mutation at exon 11 of the c-kit gene. The sunitinib-resistant liver and peritoneal tumors had different point mutations: T to G and T to A, respectively, although both resulted in an N822K amino acid alteration, indicating the polyclonal evolution of recurrent GISTs. Thus, if R0 resection is expected, surgical intervention under the control of imatinib or sunitinib should be considered for the control of metastatic or recurrent GISTs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
